Sir Keir Starmer has expressed his gratitude that Jews are able to trust the Labour Party again after he met community leaders today.

The opposition leader hailed Labour’s victory in Barnet during this year’s local elections as a “special milestone”.

Sir Keir was meeting representatives from the Board of Deputies, the Jewish Leadership Council (JLC) and Community Security Trust (CST) alongside Labour Party Chair Anneliese Dodds and Sarah Owen, the Shadow Minister for Local Government and Faith.

Combatting antisemitism within Labour, the cost of living crisis and the safety of the Jewish community were all high on the agenda.
