Humbled and honoured to have been elected the 49th president of the @BoardofDeputies - the youngest in its 264-year history.
Thanks so much to all those who voted for me today, my amazing team, and to all who have supported me on this journey.
The hard work begins now.

We will remember them.

As HM Govt moves forward the Church Appointments (Repeal of Discriminatory Provision) Bill to remove historic restrictions on Roman Catholic & Jewish politicians, wonderful meeting with friends from @catholicEW to discuss our longstanding joint advocacy & current shared agenda.
While in Israel for a reception to welcome Boy George, I was pleased to spend time with our Ambassador in Tel Aviv @simonwaltersuk, to discuss the UK-Israel bilateral relationship and the prospects for regional peace and security following the Israeli elections.
🇬🇧 🤝 🇮🇱
As @BoyGeorge prepares for the first of two gigs in Tel Aviv tonight, I was delighted to join him at a wonderful reception hosted by @SylvanAdams_, Chair of @WorldJewishCong Israel. His message to our community: “G-d bless British Jews! We love you.”
Thanks for launching this for us, @jreynoldsMP!
Antisemitism never has and never will have a place in the workplace. And people don’t want just warm words anymore, they want action.
The updates to the @BoardofDeputies guide is a start, and this Government will not shy away from the generational challenge of stamping it out.

At Lancaster House today, as Co-Chair of the Commission on Antisemitism, bringing together leaders from the arts, healthcare, government, business and sport to renew efforts to tackle antisemitism. Huge turnout and some very powerful testimony. Thank you all. Off the back of today @LordJohnMann and I will be formally reviewing Government progress against our recommendations.

Government welcomes Board of Deputies Employer's Guide to Jews and Judaism as new edition is launched at national antisemitism conference.

Last week, ADL and the J7 Task Force traveled to the UK and Ireland for the annual J7 summit, amid rising antisemitism and growing threats to Jewish communities. With 2025 marking the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks against diaspora Jews in over 30 years, the need for action is urgent. It cannot wait.
Throughout the week, we heard directly from Jewish communities about the challenges they face and brought their concerns to government officials and institutional leaders, including the UK's Foreign Secretary, Ireland's Taoiseach, government ministers, BBC leadership and members of Parliament.
Our message was clear. World leaders must recognize antisemitism as a growing and imminent threat to Jewish communities and our shared democratic values, and take concrete action. That means strengthening security for Jewish institutions, enforcing hate crime laws, confronting antisemitism in the media and online and holding leaders accountable.
Justice needs to be done, needs to be seen to be done, & needs to be seen to be done quickly.
Thanks to Lord Chancellor @AlexJJNorris & Ministers @sarahsackman, @AlexDaviesJones @CMcKinnellMP & @JakeBenRichards for your partnership in ensuring protection for Jewish communities.
Yesterday, the JLC was pleased to bring Jewish communal organisations together for meetings at the Ministry of Justice.
We held a productive discussion with Lord Chancellor @AlexJJNorris and Ministers @sarahsackman, @AlexDaviesJones and @CMcKinnellMP on securing swift and effective prosecutions for antisemitic crimes, protecting Jewish women from abuse and strengthening deradicalisation in prisons.

“We welcome Sir Ed and the Liberal Democrat Party’s unequivocal position regarding their unwillingness to work with the Green Party nationally. We await confirmation on the Party’s local council arrangements with the Green Party over the coming days.”

Thank you to @catholicEW for hosting today’s Ecumenical and Jewish gathering with Cardinal Koovakad, Prefect of the Holy See’s Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue.
Zack Polanski remains all over the place. Having failed to muster any leadership over the Green Party’s racist vote on Zionism, he now presides over a party whose own policy he admits even he will disagree with until at least 2028. This is not a tenable situation.
Let us remember that, as of now, the Green Party's platform erases Jewish identity and experience, calls for Israel's elimination, and tells the vast majority of Jews, who overwhelmingly believe in the right of Israel to exist, that they are not welcome in the party.

Thank you @mhclg Secretary of State @AngelaRayner for meeting the @ADL’s J7, as @BoardofDeputies hosted the group in London. 🇬🇧
As we confront the international rise of antisemitism, our global coalition will work together to turn iron determination into concrete action.
Antisemitism is shamefully rising across the globe, and it's going to take all of us to tackle it.
Yesterday I met leaders from the J7 to discuss this unique hatred targeting Jewish communities and to learn from each other's experiences and approaches.
By listening, learning and sharing what works, we can strengthen our response to antisemitism and help ensure Jewish people in our communities can live safely and confidently.
As part of the @boardofdeputies hosting the @ADL’s J7 in London, we visited @EnglandFootball at @wembleystadium to discuss how to drive antisemitism & prejudice out of the beautiful game.
The BoD’s own Three Lions were delighted to be part of this special Pride.

No Jew should be targeted for being Jewish. Using Israel as a pretext to attack Jews is antisemitism, plain and simple.
I joined @PhilR_R on @BBCNews to discuss the threats facing Jewish communities worldwide and the J7 Task Force’s work to confront them.
Board of Deputies President @PhilR_R and @ADL CEO @JGreenblattADL spoke to @BBCNews today about the challenges facing Jews worldwide and the work of the J7 Task Force Against Antisemitism, whose annual summit takes place in London this week.
