The Spin

This was a vile terror attack and the British government understands just how much fear this has instilled in Jews around the country. This is why the government is doing everything in its power to give Jews the security they deserve, including a more visible police presence. Over the next few days, Jews will also see the other side of Britain: one that is loving, caring and decent.

This barbaric attack was a direct consequence of Britain's weakness on terrorism. For months, the country has taken no action against the antisemitic and anti-Israel rhetroic running rampant in its public discourse, now everywhere in its cities and college campuses. Israel expects a change of course and firm action to be taken against this, not just more words from Starmer.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 50% chance that Sir Keir Starmer will cease to be Prime Minister of the U.K. by October 2028, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
