Inclusivity

We’ve now got a question on anti-Semitism and the candidates ensuring inclusivity is a priority.

Mr Lloyd says hate crime is a priority already, for council chiefs and the police, and that there are already better means of reporting.

He says campaigns to encourage people to report hate crime are in place.

Mr Lloyd says neighbourhood policing, despite Whitehall cuts, is still vital - because that’s where leaders learn what is happening in our communities and how to tackle hate crime on the ground.

“In the end, it’s community strength, we have to make sure is there,” he says.

Mr Burnham says we live in ‘sad times’ - and that figures on rising hate crime paint a grim picture.

He says there would be zero-tolerance, under his leadership, on hate crime - and that every case will be prosecuted.

“We can’t let this cancer eat into our society any more,” he adds.

“We need to stand together in Greater Manchester to tackle it.”

Mr Lewis says he’s proud to be Jewish and Labour. He says the majority of Labour Party members are not anti-Semitic.

He says there has to be zero-tolerance on every form of racism in our society.

Mr Lewis says Labour ‘avoid the difficult issues’ - particularly on Israel and Palestine.

He’s set up an organisation to help both sides of that dispute to discuss their issues - he says he will continue to drive that forum forward.

Mr Lewis says the government’s prevent strategy isn’t working - and that it’s actually driving young people AWAY from an anti-radicalisation strategy.

He says we need a fresh start to tackle anti-radicalisation.

He says Labour must lead on equality in Greater Manchester - particularly after Brexit.

He says the party must be seen to take Syrian refugees.
