Charity: Hate crime rise appalling but not surprising

The rise in both anti-Semitic and Islamophobic hate crime is "really appalling but not a surprise", says the director of policy at the Community Security Trust, a charity whose mission it is to provide safety to the UK Jewish community. Dr Dave Rich adds that the "enormous" increase has been apparent on social media and offline, exacerbated by the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th 2023, the subsequent, ongoing war in the Middle East and the anti-immigration riots that occurred in the UK over the summer.

Nigel Farage has renewed calls for a national inquiry into grooming gangs, criticising the Jay Review as inadequate.
