RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – The Chancellor announced an extra £7m over the next three years to tackle rising antisemitism in schools and universities in the UK.

The Chancellor said the phenomenon was deeply concerning.

It will go to the Holocaust Educational Trust, among other groups. An uplift of £3m will go to the Community Security Trust, which helps to protect British Jews.

He told the Commons: “When it comes to antisemitism, and all forms of racism we must never allow the clock to be turned back.”
