Councillor Dominic Twomey, Labour Leader of Barking and Dagenham Council said:
“I am sure everyone in Barking and Dagenham is completely appalled by the disgusting attack on a Synagogue in Manchester yesterday, and I know that all our thoughts will be with the families of the two men who were killed, and the four people who remain in hospital.
“Anti-Semitism has no place in society, and we must continue to do all we can to ensure hate is challenged and rooted out wherever we find it – here in Barking and Dagenham and throughout the country.”
