PM decries postponement of MP Damian Egan's school visit amid protests
Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the postponement of Labour MP Damian Egan's Bristol school visit due to planned protests as 'very concerning,' saying MPs must be able to visit places in their constituencies without fear of antisemitism. The Cabot Learning Federation said safeguarding concerns prompted the delay and a new date has been arranged. Pro-Palestine groups hailed the cancellation, while some critics argued antisemitism was involved. The NEU welcomed the safeguarding outcome, and the episode drew attention at a Jewish Labour Movement conference.
