'Terror on our streets' and 'UK antisemitism out of control'
"Terror on our streets," is the Daily Mirror's headline, as it describes what it calls a "sickening antisemitic attack" that has prompted the Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis to say his community is "not safe in Britain". The Daily Express quotes the Golders Green MP Sarah Sackman as saying: "These attacks are an attack on Britain itself." The Daily Mail carries a warning that antisemitism in the UK is "out of control," while the Times notes that Britain's terrorism watchdog has declared antisemitism to be "the biggest national emergency since Covid".
The Guardian and the Daily Telegraph picture the moment the suspect was brought down by a taser on their front pages. The Times and The i Paper feature CCTV footage of the stabbing of an elderly man at a bus stop. As it considers the rise in violence against Jews, beside a photo of the suspect holding a knife, the Sun asks "How many more?"
In its editorial, the Telegraph argues that if such attacks were targeting Muslims or another minority group, the country would rightly be demanding protection for those under threat - but when Jewish people are attacked, liberal voices suggest that Israel's actions in the Middle East somehow explain antisemitism in Britain. Writing in the Daily Mail, the Jewish commentator Angela Epstein says what are meant to be "reassuring" words from politicians are never matched by action.
The i Paper says speculation is mounting that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer might try to shake-up his top team, following what could be a damaging day at the ballot box next month - but some senior Labour figures, it says, believe he's in too weak a position to do so. The Daily Express says Sir Keir is secretly building a team to help him fight a leadership battle. A Downing Street source tells the paper: "This is untrue."
It must be tough being King, suggests the Guardian. One day you're lauded by the US president, the next, you're essentially being snubbed by the mayor of New York City. The Daily Mail puts a more positive spin on the state visit to the US, praising the King's gift of the bell from the submarine HMS Trump to its namesake president. It calls this the "ding-dong moment of kingly wit" that "put a smile on everyone's face". The Sun describes the gift as a "ringing success".
