Nickie Aiken MP speaks out on "The disgraceful rise in antisemitism"

Nickie Aiken MP joined parliamentary colleagues in Westminster Hall, highlighting the unprecedented increase in antisemitism in recent months. Nickie explained,

"The Two Cities has seen a shocking and unprecedented 1,350% increase in antisemitic incidents since the awful Hamas terror attacks in Israel on 7 October.

"Antisemitism is abhorrent. It is racism, and it has no place in our society.

"So earlier today, I spoke out in a Westminster Hall debate on the disgraceful rise in antisemitism. I shared testimony from local people, and the intimidation they face. Especially at this time, on the month we mark Holocaust Memorial Day, we must do what we can to stamp out antisemitism. Watch what I had to say.

"On Thursday, I will be leading the Commons debate on the British Jewish Community's Contribution to the UK and the Creation of an annual British Jewish History Month. Find out more via my website."
