(BBC) Former Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson has been suspended from the party after “refusing to apologise” for comments aimed at Sadiq Khan.
The Conservative Ashfield MP told GB News on Friday “Islamists” had “got control” of the mayor of London.
Responding on Saturday, Mr Khan described the remarks as “pouring fuel on the fire of anti-Muslim hatred.”
Mr Anderson said his comments had put the chief whip and PM in a “difficult position.”
Losing the Conservative whip essentially expels Mr Anderson from his party in Parliament.
