30.04.2026 ⇢ The Day the Terror Threat Was Raised to Severe
⌨
The Golders Green stabbing dominated UK media for a second day, with the terror threat level raised to 'severe' by evening. Morning coverage focused on the attack's antisemitic nature, with multiple outlets calling it a 'national security emergency' and blaming Labour. By midday, the suspect was named as Essa Suleiman, a Somali migrant previously jailed for stabbing a policeman and referred to the Prevent programme. Starmer was heckled and branded 'traitor' during a visit to the scene. The Green Party leader Polanski faced condemnation for a retweet criticizing police. In the afternoon, Channel 4 News revealed the attacker had left a psychiatric hospital days earlier. Synagogues prepared for possible chemical attacks. Oil prices topped $126 amid Iran tensions, but the domestic terror story overshadowed international news.
