Labour has pledged to defend shechita and tackle antisemitism in a series of election policies announced on Tuesday.
Launching a separate manifesto aimed at issues affecting minority communities the day after its main policy document, the party’s Shadow Justice Secretary Sadiq Khan said more would be done to support ethnic minorities.
The party said it would review police and Crown Prosecution Service guidance on antisemitic and other hate crimes. It also intends to “challenge social media companies to take more responsibility” over abuse on their sites.
Mr Khan repeated the party’s plans to protect the teaching of modern Hebrew in schools in order to “foster confidence and understanding of our rich cultural history”.
