Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn attended an event on Wednesday evening in Parliament organised by Muslim organisation MEND to launch Islamophobia Awareness Month.
Corbyn was joined by fellow Labour MPs Naz Shah, Stephen Kinnock, Wes Streeting, Afzal Khan and Kate Green, as well as Shakira Martin, president of the National Union of Students.
