The Conservative party in Britain has suspended MP Lee Anderson for his comments about London mayor Sadiq Khan, which were deemed to be Islamophobic. Anderson’s remarks were criticized as racist by Khan and led to his removal from the party in Parliament. This action came after Anderson refused to apologize for his statements, which were made in reference to an article by former Home Secretary Suella Braverman. Khan condemned Anderson’s comments as Islamophobic, while also claiming that the U.K. Prime Minister and his cabinet were complicit for not explicitly condemning the remarks. Anderson acknowledged the suspension of the Conservative whip, expressing understanding of the decision and accepting responsibility for the situation.
