We need those values more than ever before, because we live in troubling times.

This last month alone, we have seen hatred take hold; from an airport in Istanbul, to a nightclub in Orlando, to a cafe in Dhaka and this week’s horrendous attack in Baghdad.

And we have seen it closer to home, too. Too many victims have suffered abuse and intolerance on our streets and one woman an inspirational MP, Jo Cox lost her life as she served her constituents.

As we come together this Eid friends, families, neighbours, colleagues, I want us to restate our commitment to the values we share, to all the things that make Britain the most successful multi-ethnic, multi-faith democracy on earth.
