It’s time to kick out far right Tory party racists and conspiracists - Angus Robertson
Former Tory party deputy chair Lee Anderson’s comments were Islamophobic. No question about it. Anderson, the MP for Ashfield – and already someone with a record of misguided remarks – claims that “Islamists” have “got control” of London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
Buoyed in his right-wing bubble surroundings on GB News, Anderson’s true colours shone through as he blew the worst kind of dog whistle.
He has, to date, refused to apologise. It is quite unbelievable how a sitting MP, who was the Conservative party’s deputy chair until last month, is unable to see how ugly and prejudiced his words are.
