Agree

No, and increase penalties for hate speech

The Labour Party has supported measures to combat hate speech and has called for stronger action against online hate speech and abuse. For example, in their 2019 general election manifesto, they pledged to 'ensure that online abuse, misogyny, racism and religious hatred are all treated with the same seriousness as crimes committed offline.' This indicates that they would likely support increased penalties for hate speech.
