• The appeal followed last week’s Yom Kippur attack outside a Manchester synagogue that left two men dead, with Greater Manchester Police committing extensive resources to the investigation.
• Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced changes to Sections 12 and 14 of the Public Order Act to allow police to weigh the cumulative impact of frequent protests when setting conditions.
