A planned visit by a Jewish member of parliament to a school in Bristol North East was cancelled after local pro-Palestine campaigners raised concerns about his support for Israel. The cancellation, which occurred in September, was later highlighted by a government minister during a speech to the Jewish Labour Movement, who described the situation as an outrage and called for accountability among school staff. The school stated that the decision to postpone the visit was due to a planned protest near the grounds that could coincide with the end of the school day, and it has since rearranged the visit and sought police advice. The Palestine Solidarity Bristol group celebrated the cancellation, stating it sent a message to politicians who support Israel's actions in Gaza. The National Education Union and the school have been contacted for further comment.
