Sadiq Khan launched a scathing attack on the Conservative party this afternoon, accusing it of tolerating “blatant anti-Muslim hatred from the top to bottom of the party.”
In a fiery op-ed in the Evening Standard, the Mayor of London wrote that suspended Tory MP Lee Anderson has “poured petrol on the fires of hatred”. Khan, who became London’s first Muslim mayor in 2016, accused the Conservatives of not only creating a hierarchy of racism but actually “weaponising anti-Muslim prejudice for electoral gain”.
