The former Master of the Rolls has said Britain is living through “dangerous times” and that his bags are “metaphorically” packed.

In an interview with the JC, John Dyson, 76, said he thought Brexit has worsened divisions in society.

Lord Dyson, who was a justice of the Supreme Court for more than two years, also affirmed his pride in his Jewish identity and Zionism — but revealed “a sense of insecurity” related to his Jewishness.

He said: “I’m just very conscious of being Jewish... I really wanted to say this publicly because when I mention it to non-Jewish friends they can’t believe it.
