Used to be strongly Labour, since the 90's there was a shift and its now mostly Tory with some  20% I reckon voting Labour. Interestingly, the LibDem never had any sway for Jewish voters (in any formation) and as a fellow Tottenham supporter once told (Jew living in Hertfordshire) they are by far the most antisemitic party

The LibDems? How?
They had quite a lot of Pakistani politicians with controversial, so to say, statements. And well it may be false but there is that feeling of the old antisemitism of the British establishment dating back to the Liberal party with their relationship with the community. A lot of rural Liberal strongholds also had few to no Jews at all, those are places where talks of the Rotschilds' influence and such can still be heard.

British isolationist rhetoric doesn't go well with Jewish voters. Labour or Tory I think the Jewish vote went >90% remain
