Lord Hanson of Flint (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 May 2026

Debate

Unite the Kingdom March

Contribution

I say to the noble Baroness that it is not tolerated. The Prime Minister said on Saturday that this is a “fight for the soul of the country” and condemned the speeches made at that demonstration. The police have taken action accordingly. Indeed, the Government banned certain individuals from entering the country because of concerns about further activity following those speeches. This is not being tolerated. Muslims have a right to live, contribute and participate in our society free of intimidation and free of harassment. The Government, along with the Jewish community, will make sure that those individuals enjoy their lives free of that intimidation.
