He said individuals had a responsibility to challenge racism in any context or setting, be it in public, or online.

He said: “In fact anywhere, from the top deck of a bus to right here in Parliament. What’s certain is if we don’t speak out against hatred and antisemitism it will become normalised. And once that happens, the consequences will be tragic.”

 Mr Javid made the comments in a speech at a Holocaust Educational Trust reception in Parliament  today. 

He stressed the importance of not “lazily reaching for glib comparisons” in political debate.

Calling critics “Nazis” or claiming something was “just like the Holocaust,” should be avoided, he said.
