Likening the proroguing of parliament by the current UK government to the fire and subsequent suspension of the Reichstag in Nazi Germany is “deeply inappropriate”, the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) has said.
In a tweet, JLM said that the month-long extended suspension of parliament by Boris Johnson – consented by the Queen to take place from 10 September to 14 October – was “reprehensible and undemocratic.”
But the movement criticised those comparing it to the suspension of the Reichstag by Adolf Hitler in 1933 as “a disgraceful minimisation of some of the most heinous crimes in human history.”
