Visitors who are accused of anti-Semitic behaviour may be expelled from the UK even if the alleged behaviour falls below a criminal standard, the immigration minister said on Wednesday.

Robert Jenrick said those who glorify terrorists are not entitled to the “privilege” of staying in the UK, but the minister declined to comment on specific cases as the Home Office is reviewing “a small number” of visas.
