Many in the Jewish Community feel let down by inaction by some Universities on antisemitism - their view is that at best some Universities are turning a blind eye to extremism on campus or at worst just appeasing it.
Please read my thread below👇

The increase in antisemitic intimidation and threats that we've seen on campuses since October 7th make me deeply angry.
Antisemitism must never be tolerated on campuses or across society.

Our @CommonsEd is questioning the @CMO_England, Prof Jon Van-Tam, the Chair of the JCVI and the President of the RCPCH about vaccinations for 12-15 year olds.
I strongly welcome the announcement from @KwasiKwarteng that the Energy Price Cap will remain - saving households £100 a year - and also the other measures to support households.
Another way could be to look at reducing VAT on energy bills as suggested during Brexit👇
The Energy Price Cap, Winter Fuel Payments, Warm Home Discount Scheme and Cold Weather Payments all help to support households.
I've also raised the idea of reducing VAT on energy bills before👇
1/ My Urgent Question in the House of Commons about the horrific antisemitic attacks in recent days:
In a 2018 House of Commons debate on antisemitism, I said the air had grown tighter for Jews - “when you feel very hot, you undo a button on your shirt and your mouth goes dry”.
2/ Sadly, after yesterday’s incidents, I fear that air has become even tighter.

We need three guarantees:
First, an adult community learning guarantee.
-An adult community learning centre in every town in the country.
-Top-slice the existing £60 million support fund for apprenticeships and use this to support more organisations like @WEAadulted.
Second, a part-time higher education guarantee:
-Reinstate tuition fee support for the most disadvantaged learners who do courses that are likely to command a return to the jobs market
-Demand that more of the £817 p/a that is spent on outreach is directed to part-time learning
