Come join us in the Sukkah at Labour Party Conference! ✡️ We’ve built a Sukkah right behind the Exhibition Centre, and we’d love for you to stop by, learn about the festival of Sukkot, and even shake the lulav and etrog 🌿🍋 We’ll there Sunday–Tuesday, from 11am–1pm and 3–5pm.

I know today's news on the counter-terror arrests that took place over the weekend will be deeply distressing to our Jewish communities, in Manchester and across the country. I would like to thank our police and intelligence services, for the work they do to keep us safe, each and every day. Whilst the police investigation is ongoing, it wouldn’t be appropriate to comment further. But I can say that we continue to do all in our power to address threats against our Jewish community, including through record funding for policing. I also know that our policing response is necessary, but not sufficient. We cannot expect our Jewish community to live behind higher walls. We must also tackle antisemitism at its source and root it out wherever it rears its head. This Government is committed to that effort.

It is chilling that a year after the Yom Kippur murders of Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby at Heaton Park, arrests have been made over a planned attack on Manchester’s community. We thank the police for their work and urge action to tackle the rising threat of antisemitism.

Sending our very best wishes to British Jews and Jewish communities around the world observing Yom Kippur and a safe and meaningful fast. G’mar Chatima Tovah.

As we approach Rosh Hashanah, we’d like to wish Shana Tova from all of us at the Jewish Labour Movement. We wish everyone a happy, healthy and sweet new year!

In my kitchen there is a jar of honey gifted to me by Phil Rosenberg, the President of the Board of Deputies, who insisted I take it home for my family, along with a bag of apples, because it would not be a proper new year otherwise. So let me begin the simple way: Shana tova u'metuka. A good and sweet new year to every Jewish family in Britain. The custom of dipping an apple in honey is one of the most hopeful things I know. It is not a claim that the year gone by was sweet. It is a decision that the year ahead should be. And I know that the year behind us has been anything but. Two Jewish men, Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby both of blessed memory, were murdered at the gates of Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in an antisemitic terror attack on Yom Kippur, defending their synagogue and those praying inside it. As Mayor of Greater Manchester, I felt first-hand the anxiety that attack caused across the Jewish community. The sorrow and fear of that day have not disappeared. As Yom Kippur approaches once again, I know many people will remember them and reflect on what that attack meant. So, this message has to be more than a greeting for the chaggim. It has to contain a commitment. Jewish people must be able to live, worship, go to school, attend synagogue and participate fully in British life without fear. That is why we are investing more than £250 million to increase policing, improve community safety and tackle rising antisemitism, bringing total government investment in Jewish security to almost £310 million. In recent days, the Housing Secretary and I have heard directly from Jewish community leaders about the challenges they face and the anxiety many families are experiencing as the High Holy Days approach. That is why we have established a Cabinet committee on antisemitism, bringing departments together to ensure our response is coordinated, comprehensive and sustained. But security is only one part of the response. We have to tackle antisemitism at its source. We are also investing £7 million to tackle antisemitism in schools, colleges and universities, including support for Jewish students, staff training and action to address misinformation and promote respectful discussion. And we are expanding the Common Ground programme to support communities facing the greatest risk of antisemitism and help local leaders respond when tensions rise. British Jews have helped build the schools, charities, businesses and institutions that make our country stronger. From the NHS and education to the arts, innovation and entrepreneurship, their contribution has enriched every part of our national life. The contribution the Jewish community makes to British life is remarkable- and we should celebrate it. This new year, my commitment is simple: to work every day to ensure that Jewish people are safe, valued and able to live their lives free from fear. May the year ahead be sweet, and may it be safe. Shana tova.

JLM is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Elliott Franks. Elliott covered many of JLM's events over the years as a photographer and was a stalwart of our One Day Conference. Our thoughts are with his family.

This is very sad. At every big @JewishLabour event or moment Elliott proactively got in touch and offered his time to photograph them. He covered some very key moments in recent Anglo-Jewish history. He was always very kind. May his memory be a blessing. thejc.com/news/uk/the-true-d…

Wishing a huge mazal tov to @_petermason, one of JLM’s former National Secretaries, on being elected LGA Labour Chair! We know you’ll do a fantastic job 🙌🌹
