Pat McFadden’s speech drowned out by boos at rally against antisemitism
A cabinet minister was jeered and booed as he spoke at a rally against antisemitism in London on Sunday, 10 May. Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden's voice was drowned out with boos as thousands of people gathered outside Downing Street to protest against antisemitism. The crowd also shouted “action, not empty words”, “when will you act”, and “Jew harmer” at Mr McFadden. The Labour minister said: “Friends, I hear you, I am with you, I am here to fight antisemitism.” Politicians from across the spectrum spoke at the rally, including Kemi Badenoch, Richard Tice, and Sir Ed Davey.
