A host of MPs will address the issue of British antisemitism at this year’s Limmud Festival.

Conservative minister Jo Johnson will be joined by Labour MPs Stella Creasy, John Mann, and Alex Sobel.

Mr Johnson, brother to foreign secretary Boris, will discuss his part in the fight against antisemitism on British campuses as Minister for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation.

John Mann, the MP for Bassetlaw, is the chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Antisemitism and the chair of the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition for Combating Antisemitism. He was a very public opponent of former London mayor Ken Livingstone, who was suspended by Labour following his comments on Hitler, antisemitism and Zionism.
