The Labour Party has just announced that the shadow secretary for science, Peter Kyle, will take part in an anti-Semitic march in London to form the party.
This is what his colleague Darren Jones advised Sky News today, following strong complaints from politicians who do not show solidarity with the Jewish community.
Anti-Semitism surged in the UK after the standoff in the Middle East began on October 7.
Jones himself said he had no plans to attend the protests and said he would “of course” stand in solidarity with his Jewish constituents.
The shadow Treasury secretary also reiterated that not participating in the protests “is very different than not representing my constituents. “

A minister has played down the suggestion of a government split over Rwanda’s asylum plan after the interior minister said it was “not the end” of migration policy.
Conservative MPs have criticised James Cleverly after urging others not to “focus” on the questionable deportation plan, saying that abandoning the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) would harm attempts to stop the ships.
Laura Trott, principal secretary to the Treasury, told Trevor Phillips on Sunday morning that the internal secretary was on the same page as the prime minister, who pledged to do “whatever it takes” to ensure the flights took off.
He said Rwanda remains “at the center” of the government’s pledge to prevent Channel crossings and “both say it’s a component of the plan, but it’s the total plan. “
Trott said crossings in small boats had already declined even though there were no flights, and that the £140 million deal had been stalled due to demanding legal situations for more than a year.
“Last year we controlled up to a third of the number of people coming here illegally,” he said.

This week, Home Secretary James Cleverly accused the town of Stockton-on-Tees of being a “shithole” in the House of Commons.
Someone close to him denied this, but admitted that he had called the Labour MP in the area a “shit”.
The debacle comes weeks after reports that the Rwandan government’s policies are “failed. “
It explains that the non-parliamentary language “violates the rules of courtesy of the House of Commons”.
While MPs are punished for swearing in debates, the conference also prohibits them from calling their colleagues liars or accusing them of being drunk, among other things.
Traditionally, some have used euphemisms to alter the rules, notably Sir Winston Churchill when he said he had said a “terminological accuracy” rather than a lie.
When politicians use comments deemed unparliamentary, the speaker will ask them to remove them or, if they refuse, to leave the room.
So what are the regulations on non-parliamentary language and which parliamentarians have violated them?
Sky News takes a look below:
Richard Tice, leader of Reform UK, denied reports that Conservative MP Lee Anderson had been given cash to register with the party.
He told the BBC: “I am pleased to see that I have had many conversations with a number of Conservative MPs, ministers and former ministers, who are surely furious at the general betrayal of government promises, furious at the failure to stop the boats, furious at the opening of the borders to mass immigration.
“Of course, I will keep those discussions confidential, but let me be clear: no cash has been presented in any way, what has been presented is the opportunity to replace the form of debate.
“What happened here was that Lee Anderson took the risk of switching to the Reform Party to negotiate the vice-presidency of the Conservative Party himself because that story gave the impression of being almost exactly the same for the first time in February, when, coincidentally, he was appointed vice-president. . of the Conservative Party. “
The EU has given one of the clearest indications to date that it is abandoning hydrogen for home heating.
Energy Minister Lord Callanan said on the Climate Show with Tom Heap: “It’s going to play a major role in heating homes.
“It’s not practical to do that. “
When hydrogen burns, it does not give off carbon dioxide because it is natural h2: there is no carbon in the molecule.
This has led to abundant use as a household fuel for heating and domestic cooking, replacing natural gas, methane, a fossil fuel that worsens the climate when burned.
Natural fuel remains the workhorse of domestic energy: around three-quarters of UK households are connected to the fuel grid and many source corporations expect hydrogen to be close to being an “immediate replacement” for their current fuel.

Jeremy Hunt’s “rabbit out of the hat” in the autumn was a two-percentage-point cut to National Insurance.
This means that the national insurance rate paid by another 27 million people will be reduced from 12% to 10% from January.
The chancellor said that with an average salary of £35,000, the relief will save them more than £450.
But how will it save you?
Use our private tax calculator below to find out:
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt released his autumn statement.
The proposals include the reduction of Social Security through two percentage increases and the abolition of the NI for the self-employed. Universal credits and the state pension have also been increased.
But the chancellor also announced new, tougher measures for job seekers, saying those who fail to find cadres after 18 months of “intensive support” will receive mandatory internships.
Those who do have interaction in the procedure for six months will lose their benefits entirely.
On Sky News Daily, presenter Niall Paterson talks to Ed Conway, our economy and knowledge editor, and Sam Coates, our deputy political editor, to discuss the chancellor and what he means.
Trevor Phillips now joins through his panel: journalist and presenter Daisy McAndrew, Financial Times deputy editor Stephen Bush and former conservative adviser Salma Shah.
They are asked whether politicians could be better concerned about the factor of emerging anti-Semitism in the UK.
Ms. Shah says: “Absolutely, the only thing that stood out to me was… that there turns out to be some kind of equation between embarking on a march against anti-Semitism and his stance on Israel and Hamas.
“It’s not political to say ‘we’re with you, the British Jewish community, and we don’t need you to face this kind of hate. ‘
“This is a political statement. “
McAndrew says it’s a “sign of the times” that “you feel obligated to be in one aspect or another. “
That concludes Sunday morning with Trevor Phillips.
Tracy Ann Oberman, who will face a march against anti-Semitism in London today, asked about the intention of the protest.
She says, “There has been anti-Semitism in this country, sometimes they don’t perceive what anti-Semitism and anti-Jewish hatred is.
“Since the Hamas attack, even before Israel retaliated, anti-Semitic incidents have increased by three hundred percent.
“So there’s something deeply ingrained in the psyche of this country, somewhere, that enables this anti-Semitism. “
Mrs Oberman said: “Today’s march is about ‘we support our Jewish community’. “
The actress talks about the politics of this case and the refusal of politicians to dedicate themselves to attending this type of march.
She says, “It’s disturbing, disturbing.
“This is a march of solidarity with the network of this country, this wonderful, multicultural and multiracial country that has defended tolerance.
“It is provocative that prominent politicians cannot run just to show solidarity with a very small network that provides so much to this country. “
Actress Tracy Ann Oberman is Trevor’s next guest and will join him to talk about a solidarity march taking place in London.
He is expected to speak at the march today about anti-Semitism.
The actress was questioned for the first time about the release of the Gaza hostages. She simply says it’s “too little, too late. “
“Hamas is applying a terrorist technique that consists of psychologically torturing, I believe, families and other people in Israel by drip-feeding those hostages.
“There are still a lot of children, little nine-month-olds, who are being taken care of. “
Ms. Oberman said: “We want to get all those hostages back, and I think the way that Hamas is feeding that in dribs and drabs. . . is even more disturbing. “
