“The speaker and the hon. Gentleman both believe antisemitism must be opposed everywhere.”

The claim is that Keir Starmer and the "hon. Gentleman" (the MP who asked the question) both believe antisemitism must be opposed everywhere. From the Westminster Brief record of the 3 June 2026 debate, the questioner (Q9) — referred to as "the hon. Gentleman" — opened by stating: "I welcome the Prime Minister's commitment to combat antisemitism" and went on to describe a series of antisemitic incidents and ask for stronger government action, concluding that "The Jewish people of this country want to feel safe on our streets, in their homes and in our country." The questioner's own words clearly demonstrate a strong belief that antisemitism must be combated. Starmer's extensive public record on antisemitism is well-documented, including his remarks at the No10 Tackling Antisemitism Forum on 5 May 2026 (available on GOV.UK), where he stated antisemitism is "a poison" and described his government's comprehensive plan to eradicate it "from every corner of society." He has repeatedly used the phrase "fight the poison of antisemitism wherever it is found." The claim is about a shared belief. While beliefs are internal states, in this case both speakers have publicly and repeatedly expressed the view that antisemitism must be opposed everywhere — the questioner through his detailed question demanding action against antisemitism, and Starmer through his consistent public statements and policy actions. The questioner's own words in Parliament directly confirm his opposition to antisemitism. Starmer's statement that "we are united in our belief" on this specific point is well-supported by the available public evidence.
