Home Secretary Priti Patel pledged support to the UK’s Jewish community at the Board of Deputies President’s dinner this week.
She said: “I want to be clear, this Government is always on your side… It is our shared values that unite us all…and make us British”.
Home Secretary Patel paid tribute to the Board of Deputies: “The Board of Deputies has been tireless in educating British society about Judaism, building interfaith bridges, defending the interests of British Jews, and confronting antisemitism in all its awful guises”.
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair also spoke at the event, in conversation with broadcaster Natasha Kaplinsky.
