(BBC) Boris Johnson’s controversial comments on Muslim women were “really ill judged,” says a former Tory minister.
The PM came under fire in 2018 after he wrote an article comparing women in burkas to letterboxes and bank robbers.
Caroline Nokes — who chairs the Commons Women and Equalities Committee — said the PM should “think very carefully” about his words and their impact.
She also compared Parliament to a “boys’ prep school,” and said working there is “turning me into a feminist.”
In an interview with The House magazine, the former immigration minister under Theresa May said the article on Muslim women was the incident that “stands out.”
