Reform and Labour seen as having biggest problem with antisemitism, poll finds

  • A recent YouGov poll indicates that Labour and Reform UK are most frequently identified as having an antisemitism problem, both at 33 per cent, with the Green Party registering 25 per cent.
  • The survey, conducted following the Golders Green stabbing, found that almost two-thirds (63 per cent) of Britons believe prejudice against Jews is a major or significant concern.
  • Green Party co-leader Zack Polanski apologised for hastily sharing criticism of police actions after the Golders Green attack, though he insisted police should not be above scrutiny.
  • Labour has accused 25 Green Party local election candidates of holding "disturbing views," including antisemitism and support for Hamas and Russia, with two individuals arrested for stirring up racial hatred.
  • The poll also revealed that Reform UK is most associated with Islamophobia at 47 per cent, and younger voters (18-24) are less likely to perceive antisemitism as a severe issue compared to other forms of discrimination.
