‘My son was greeted with the P-word’: Independent MP Shockat Adam talks ‘racial abuse’
Shockat Adam, the newly elected independent MP for Leicester South, overturned a Labour majority of about 22,500 votes last month, campaigning 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.
