Conservative response to British Museum postponing Jewish Culture Month event

Kemi Badenoch MP, Leader of the Conservative Party, said:

“Jewish Culture Month is meant to promote awareness of and celebrate Jewish culture in the UK. This decision achieves precisely the opposite. 

“Jewish acts and actors are now being routinely cancelled from events across the UK. As with the marches and protests going past Synagogues and knocking on doors intimidating Jews, the end result is an erasure of Jews and Jewish culture from Britain's public space. 

"The government says it wants to combat antisemitism, it needs to tell publicly-funded institutions like the British Museum to do what's necessary to put this event on. The Conservatives will always make sure that Britain feels a safe place for Jews."
