Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has stated that police officers responding to the attack in Golders Green likely feared for their lives. The comments came amid heightened national security measures, with the terror threat level raised to severe. Britain's top police officer described a "pandemic of antisemitism," while the government's terrorism adviser warned of a "national emergency." The ongoing violence linked to the Iran conflict has added to the multiple crises facing Starmer, including economic challenges and the war in Ukraine.
