(National-UAE) Downing Street has stated that ministers should continue to boycott the Muslim Council of Britain following controversy over a meeting with one of its leaders by Conservative leadership candidate Penny Mordaunt in defiance of the long-standing policy.
The trade minister has been accused of breaching government guidelines after she met the organisation’s leader last year.
She has also failed to remove a tweet in which she said she was delighted to … see MCB general secretary Zara Mohammed in February 2021 when she was the paymaster general, then a position in the Cabinet Office. The Cabinet Office has oversight of the National Security Secretariat, the country’s intelligence and security policy hub.
