A terror incident has been declared at London Bridge after a man went on the rampage with a knife before being wrestled to the ground by members of the public.

It could hardly have happened at a worse time for Labour, as the Chief Rabbi declared that “a new poison” of anti-Semitism had “taken root” in the party. Sanctioned, he claimed, from the very top.
