Downing Street rally asks ‘silent majority’ to fight antisemitism

Open letter criticising invitation to Nigel Farage warns of association with ‘racism and inflammatory rhetoric’

Political leaders have been invited to a rally opposing antisemitism on Sunday, with British Jews hoping the “silent majority” will join them for a “million mensch march” across central London.

The prime minister, Keir Starmer, is considering attending the Standing Strong: Extinguish Antisemitism rally, which is backed by more than 30 Jewish groups, while the Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch is expected to speak.
