I’d like to send good wishes to the Jewish community in the UK and around the world ahead of #Passover.The story of Passover has inspired generations and is one, I know, you have drawn strength from over the last year.I hope we can celebrate in person next year. #Passover2021 pic.twitter.com/UoSNmCpS0w— Keir Starmer (@Keir_Starmer) March 26, 2021
Starmer tackled antisemitism immediately upon election last April, as he promised to root out that scourge from the party that in the past has been charged with fostering hatred toward Jews.“Antisemitism has been a stain on our party. I have seen the grief that it’s brought to so many Jewish communities. On behalf of the Labour Party,” Starmer said.
