The home secretary says the government will "strain every sinew" to keep the Jewish community safe following this morning's attack.

Shabana Mahmood says she will not “tolerate a situation where our Jewish citizens have to lead smaller lives” to keep themselves safe.

Ministers have already been taking action on security and ensuring Jewish community sites are well protected, she says, adding that "an enhanced police presence" will continue.

"We will go further," she tells reporters, including on action to tackle the "root causes" of antisemitism in society.

On the police investigation, Mahmood says the initial circumstances of the attack suggest it is correct to designate it as a terrorist incident.

When asked whether there is a suspected link to Iran, she says it is "very early to say" what the motivations may have been and that it would be "improper to speculate".

"As soon as more facts are established, then we will of course be keeping the public updated.”
