The UK's threat level has increased to “severe”. This follows a rising Islamist and Extreme Right Wing terrorist threat, and yesterday's abhorrent antisemitic terrorist attack.
People should be vigilant as they go about their daily lives, and report any concerns to the police.
Our world-leading police and security services continue to work, day and night, to keep our country safe.
