There has been a frightening rise in racism and prejudice – including increases in antisemitism, Islamophobia, and LGBT+ hate. I recently met with historian David Rosenberg at the Cable Street mural, to talk about Poplar and Limehouse's great history of different communities uniting together in solidarity.

The Labour Party is the party of equality. I am proud of our Race and Faith manifesto, in particular plans 'to review the curriculum to ensure that it enriches students and covers subjects such as racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, xenophobia and black history and continues to teach issues like the Holocaust.' Raising awareness and education is something I take incredibly seriously and personally.
