The Starmer government has raised the ‘UK National Threat Level‘ from ‘substantial’ to ‘severe’. The change means the government and security services claim a terror attack in the next six months is ‘highly likely’.
The move comes after the 29 April 2026 stabbing incident in Golders Green, in which a man with known mental health issues and a history of violence, was declared to be a terrorist incident. The stabbing attack by supporters of Israel on a Muslim man last week failed to move the dial – or even get much attention from the government or state-corporate media:

In fact, the only appearance of the Islamophobic attack by Zionists on the front page of search results specifically looking for it is by Iran’s Press TV:
The government’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) claimed the rise was driven by “an increase in the broader Islamist [threat]”, adding a nod to the “extreme right-wing terrorist threat”, though police and government show no concern about right-wing extremism in practice. It is certain to be used by the Starmer regime to intensify its pro-Israel war on anti-genocide protest and UK citizens’ rights.
