Sunak promoted this guy significantly above his station. He allowed him to spew his hate for the last two years because it was politically expedient for both himself, and the party at large.

    Lee Anderson highlights the hierarchy of racism in the UK. Muslims are the easy target.

      Exactly, and that’s why Braverman still has the whip despite saying the same thing as Anderson but not naming names.

    If he was actually worried about this stuff, he’d withdraw the whip from Braverman, too, and apologise for calling Starmer a terrorist sympathiser.

      He’s terrified of Braverman right? I’m not sure why. He’s not winning this election, and I can’t imagine he’s going to hang around as the leader of the opposition.

        I think he’s scared of her because she’s influential on the right wing. But if he had any political sense, he’d see that being terrified of her is a reason to throw her out!
