00:00No, I don't think the government is doing enough to tackle anti-Semitism and Kemi Badenoch has been very robust
00:06on this, talking about how the government needs to take anti-Semitism much more seriously, actually treat this as a
00:13national emergency.
00:14I know I speak to Jewish friends of mine who say that they used to feel safe in the UK
00:19and they're no longer feeling safe.
00:21The government really needs to step up. We need more visible policing. We need more police in the streets, particularly
00:28in areas where Jewish people were feeling under threat, for instance around synagogues.
00:32We need a stronger armed response unit to be at the ready if needed and we need a crackdown on
00:37hate marches.
