Tories investigate candidate over alleged Islamophobiapublished at 21:10 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2019
The Conservatives are investigating a complaint made by Labour candidate Naz Shah that a Tory candidate re-tweeted Islamophobic material.
In a letter to Conservative chair James Cleverly, Ms Shah called for action over the Twitter activity of the party's candidate Linden Kemkaran.
This includes allegedly re-tweeting a post calling Islam a "nasty culture".
The Conservative Party says it is investigating Ms Shah's claims, which have been rejected by Mrs Kemkaran.
