Attorney General Richard Hermer challenged Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch to clarify whether she would object to Jewish prayer in public spaces, after she supported shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy's criticism of an Islamic prayer event at Trafalgar Square as contrary to British values. Hermer, a prominent Jewish politician, suggested Badenoch's position resembled that of far-right figures by appearing to single out Muslim religious expression while not addressing other faiths.
