A YouGov survey shows that only 59 pc of Britain’s 270,000 Jews feel welcome in the UK and almost one in 10 hide their faith for fear of anti-Semitic attacks. Three-quarters believe the opposition Labor Party harbors anti-Semites, especially since Jeremy Corbyn became leader two years ago. Last month police figures showed a 45 per cent surge in hate crimes against Jewish people.

They range from abuse in the street and Heil Hitler salutes to offensive graffiti and physical attacks.
