Barely a third of the community feel that British Jews have a long-term future and less than half feel welcome in the country, according to a new survey by the Campaign Against Antisemitism.

Half have considered leaving the UK in the past two years owing to antisemitism.

The findings, based on 4,074 responses to a questionnaire in June, were released for Holocaust Memorial Day.

When asked if there were a long-term future for British Jews, 34 per cent agreed there was, while 37 per cent disagreed. Among 18-to-24 year olds, the figures were 44 per cent (who believed in a future) to 41 per cent.
