Home Office minister for policing, fire and crime prevention Dame Diana Johnson said: “These numbers are deeply troubling.

“We are determined to stamp out the toxic vitriol which is spread by a minority of people, and perpetrators of hate crime should be in no doubt that they will face the full force of the law.

“The significant increase in anti-semitic and Islamophobic hate crime is very serious, which is why we have committed up to £47.4 million per year in protective security funding for Jewish and Muslim communities to 2027-28.

“We must have zero tolerance for anti-semitism, Islamophobia and every other form of heinous hate in Britain, and we back the police in taking strong action against those targeting specific communities.”
