Labour’s John Mann has made an impassioned speech in the House of Commons, calling for opponents of antisemitism to “stand up and be counted” in 2019 to ensure Jewish people “stay in this country wishing to contribute and no longer fearing for their future.”
The long-time campaigner against Jew-hate spoke during Prime Minister’s Question Time on Wednesday to say: “For almost 400 years this country almost uniquely in the world has been a place of safety and security and a place where Jewish communities have thrived.”
“Many in the Jewish community are questioning whether this will be the case going into the future,” the MP for Bassetlaw said, adding: “A disturbing large number of young Jewish people are questioning whether they should remain in this country.”
