One in three British Jews have considered leaving the country because they no longer feel safe here.

And almost four in 10 say they hide their faith for fear of antisemitic attacks, a poll found.

The survey by YouGov shows that only 59 per cent of Britain’s 270,000 Jewish people feel welcome in the UK.

And three quarters believe the Labour Party harbours antisemites.

Since Jeremy Corbyn became leader two years ago he has had to fend off claims he is not doing enough to tackle discrimination.

A report by MPs last year said his party failed “consistently and effectively to deal with antisemitic incidents”.

Former London mayor Ken ­Livingstone was suspended from Labour over his claims that Adolf Hitler supported Zionism in the Thirties.

Last month police figures obtained under freedom of information laws showed a 45 per cent surge in hate crime against Jewish people.

They range from abuse in the street and Heil Hitler salutes to offensive graffiti and physical attacks.

Campaign Against Antisemitism chairman Gideon Falter accused the Crown Prosecution Service of not doing enough to deal with it.

He said: “Our research shows British Jews have pointed their fingers at the CPS and the Labour Party.

“Without urgent change British Jews may start to leave, as has happened elsewhere in Europe.”

However, the polling also shows that the general public have become less antisemitic.

Mr Falter added: “In a very British way Britons have been rejecting prejudice.”
