Tory MP criticised for using antisemitic term ' cultural MARXISM' A leading Jewish group has criticised a Conservative former minister for using the term “ cultural MARXISM” in a speech, a reference to a conspiracy theory often associated with the far right and antisemitism. The Board of Deputies of British Jews said Suella Braverman should clarify what she meant, and pledge to not use the phrase again. The Labour MP Wes Streeting said Braverman should apologise for using an “ugly and reprehensible term with antisemitic connotations”. He added: “Members of parliament should know better and she should apologise immediately or the whip should be removed.” Hope Not Hate, which monitors far-right groups, said it was “deeply disturbing” to see an MP use such language. www.theguardian.com/news/2019/mar/26/tory-mp-criticised-for-using-antisemitic-term-cultural-marxism
