(ITV) Former Conservative deputy chair Lee Anderson has been criticised for claiming Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim mayor of London, is controlled by “Islamists.”
Speaking on GB News, Mr Anderson said Mr Khan had “given our capital city away to his mates.”
“I don’t actually believe that the Islamists have got control of our country, but what I do believe is they’ve got control of Khan, and they’ve got control of London,” Mr Anderson said.
The Tory MP for Ashfield’s comments drew criticism from politicians, including shadow health secretary Wes Streeting who said Mr Anderson’s comments were “divisive and dangerous.”
