PM condemns 'un-British' plans for protests on anniversary of Hamas terror attack
Sir Keir Starmer has condemned plans for pro-Palestine protests two years to the day since the October 7 attacks on Israel, labelling them "un-British".

Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, died in the attack at Heaton Park synagogue in Crumpsall on Thursday. 'A stain on who we are' Mr Daulby, a member of the congregation, was shot accidentally when police fired on attacker Jihad al Shamie.
The synagogue's rabbi told Sky News it happened as Mr Daulby "was holding the doors to make sure everyone inside stayed safe". The family of Mr Cravitz - a worshipper at the synagogue who police originally stated was a security guard - said he would "do anything to help anyone".
Sir Keir described the attack as "horrifying.
