"I am shocked and deeply saddened by the attack on a synagogue in Manchester on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur. 

"In Sutton we want everyone to feel safe and included. Sutton is a friendly, diverse, welcoming place and we do not tolerate any forms of hate.

"My thoughts are with the family and loved ones of those in Manchester and also our Jewish community here in Sutton at this difficult time."
