Lee Anderson's comments 'Islamophobic, anti-Muslim and racist', says Khan

The Labour Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, accused the Cabinet of staying silent and "condoning" what he said were Islamophobic comments made by a Tory MP.

The former deputy chairman of the Conservative party, Lee Anderson, said on GB News on Friday that Islamists had gained "control" of Mr Khan and that he had given the city away "to his mates".

After facing calls to act, on Saturday afternoon the chief whip of the Tory party announced Mr Anderson would be suspended after "refusing to apologise" for his comments.
