I've thought about Australia. I've wondered about Canada. And I've pondered the US. Along with 47 per cent of my fellow Jews (according to a recent Jewish Chronicle poll), I have seriously considered where I might want to move to should we wake up on Friday to a Corbyn-led government.

I don't intend to go anywhere. I am British and this is my home. But it's not simply the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn and his allies in power that has sent me and other Jews looking at alternative places to live – however unwilling we may be to act on our research. It's something deeper and far more disconcerting – far more unpleasant and worrying, in fact.

Because even if Mr Corbyn loses and is consigned to history, and even if Labour replaces him with someone who makes dealing with anti-Semitism a priority, this election has unsettled me and many other Jews in a far more profound way than I realised it would.

The truth is that I can now barely bring myself to contemplate what this election says about my fellow Brits' willingness to tolerate Jew hate. Whatever share of the vote Labour ends up with, it's safe to predict that over a third of voters have no problem with the concept of installing as prime minister a man who is repeatedly labelled an anti-Semite, not least by those like Dame Margaret Hodge who have worked alongside him.
