Universities will be expected to publish scale of antisemitism on campuses, says Starmer – UK politics live

The prime minister said universities will be held to account on tackling antisemitism

In his speech Keir Starmer also said that, if arts organisations platform antisemitism, the Arts Council must act using its powers to suspend, withdraw and clawback funding".

And he announced a review into whether this is happening properly. He went on:

And today we're mandating an independent audit of how allegations are handled. This will be a hard-edged review of where systems are failing and where they need to be strengthened.

We will not and cannot accept complacency, delays or weak enforcement.

We're rolling out antisemitism training for staff and in our schools, colleges and universities. We're investing 7m to tackle antisemitism while making sure Holocaust education is taught in all schools.

And today, we're going further.
