‘I faced a torrent of abuse’: Independent MP Shockat Adam talks racist backlash, Gaza and the riots
Shockat Adam, the recently elected independent MP for Leicester South, overturned a Labour majority of around 22,500 in last month’s general election and entered parliament on a pro-Palestinian platform.
In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with Middle East Eye, he said he and his family faced significant racial abuse during the general election campaign.
Adam also discussed his experience as an independent MP so far, the possibility of forming an alliance with other pro-Palestinian independents, his views on Gaza and the recent anti-Muslim riots.
