I am tired of standing before good Jewish people to offer condolences and expressions of solidarity. Words are not enough. We must do what is necessary to keep us all safe.

We know the evil we face. We see it. We know how it operates, how it abuses our democracy, and subverts our institutions.

Radical Islamism is a threat to Western civilisation. It is incompatible with British values of freedom, equality, and the rule of law.

Action means breaking up extremist networks that radicalise our youth, safeguarding Jewish communities, stopping protests from becoming platforms for violence, and revoking visas from foreign students who celebrate antisemitic terror.

As Jewish families across Britain gather to celebrate Chanukah, we do so this year with heavy hearts, after the horrific scenes in Sydney, where people were murdered simply for being Jewish.

These were targeted attacks, driven by the same ancient hatred that has resurfaced with frightening confidence across the world, including here in the UK.

The attack at Heaton Park in Manchester was an act of terror that brought fear to an anguished community already living with a disturbing rise in antisemitism. We need truth, courage and moral conviction more than ever.

Chanukah is a story of resilience, courage, and the refusal to surrender. This time last year, we called for the return of British hostage Emily Damari. This year, we can finally say she is home, along with all the living hostages. That is something to celebrate and it is a reminder that even after the darkest nights, light can return.

Chag Chanukah Sameach.

To the Jewish community this Chanukah: we stand with you. May the candles be lit in remembrance, resilience and resolve.

Chanukah is a reminder that Jewish light has always been forced to burn against the dark. This year, we light candles in grief, defiance and remembrance.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Heartbreaking scenes emerging from Bondi Beach of what looks like another despicable terrorist atrocity.
As Jews across the UK gather to welcome Chanukah, we must once again remind ourselves of the enduring power of the story of the Maccabees, not only to Jewish history but to universal themes of resilience, courage, and hope. We need them more than ever in the battle of light over darkness.

Hello police, I'd like to report a murder

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

This Remembrance Sunday, we come together to honour the brave men and women who served our country, defended our freedoms, and kept us safe.

We remember that we are part of something greater than ourselves. That the peace and freedom we enjoy today were secured by those we never met, who gave their lives for a nation they believed was worth defending.

We carry that same belief with gratitude, pride and renewed courage to keep Britain worthy of their sacrifice🇬🇧

Sending my heartfelt wishes to everyone who is celebrating Diwali! May the light of God’s love guide our path, remove the shadows of doubt, and inspire us to reflect His love in all that we do.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Diwali is a celebration of light over darkness, hope over despair, and the power of family, community and faith.

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating today 🪔

[Priti Patel MP @pritipatel]

Wishing a very Happy Diwali to all those celebrating the festival of lights in the UK, India, and around the world.

May this Diwali bring blessings, peace, and prosperity to everyone.

[Bob Blackman @BobBlackman]

I wish all those celebrating a Happy #Diwali! 🎆

Diwali, the festival of lights, is a new year celebration that symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness and good over evil.🕯️

Shubh Deepawali!

[Bob Blackman @BobBlackman]

Diwali is a time of celebration, where light triumphs over darkness.

However, Hindu's in Bangladesh will not be celebrating. They face persecution, violence, and the destruction of their temples and homes.

I’ve called on the Govt to take action on this.

Apparently there was no conference bounce

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

The hostages released today have shown superhuman endurance in the face of evil.

The abduction of men, women and children on Oct 7th was a calculated cruelty to break body, mind and soul after inflicting the mindless horror of rape and murder. No cause, no grievance, can ever justify what happened that day.

I, for one, will never forget. The incomprehensible response from some in the West, that instinct to equivocate, to indulge in whataboutery and draw false equivalence shows how far moral clarity has eroded. All right-thinking people know we’ve got a job to do here at home as well to fix this.

But today, I am just relieved that 20 families will have hope restored. That hope is tempered by sorrow for those who will never come home.

They will be honoured. They will be remembered and we stand with their families.

May their memories be a blessing.
