Lord John Mann has been reappointed as an independent government adviser on antisemitism.

Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said on social media that she was “pleased” that Lord Mann would continue in his role.

She posted on X/Twitter, “Antisemitism, Islamophobia & all forms of religious & racial hatred are completely unacceptable. We will be exploring a more integrated and cohesive approach to tackling it.”

Lord Mann told the JC, “It is not the time to ease up on the work tackling antisemitism, so I am back at my desk working hard already. As long as the community thinks I can contribute then I will continue to do so.
In particular the bullying and intimidation of individuals at work is an issue that obviously people don’t want to publicise, but is a top priority to address.”
