Sixty five per cent of Jews in the Labour Party disagree with the claim that other local members are all friendly and welcoming, a new report has found.
Jewish people were the group least likely to find their branches welcoming, followed by lesbian, gay and bisexual members, people under the age of 35, women and ethnic minorities, according to the survey published last month.
Jewish respondents reported some of the worst experiences during a poll of 2,890 people carried out by the Fabian Society in August - before the party agreed to set up a new disciplinary system in a bid to stamp out antisemitism from its ranks.
One person told researchers at the left-wing think tank that there were “quite high levels of antisemitism, both macro and micro aggressions” and was unsure as to how to complain.
