(Anadolu) The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) on Tuesday called on the main opposition Conservative Party to remove Robert Jenrick from his position as shadow justice secretary over leaked messages showing his admiration for a far-right social media account.
The MCB issued a statement urging Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch to remove Jenrick from his shadow cabinet position and launch an immediate investigation into his conduct following leaked messages.
In the leaked message, Jenrick described himself as a “great admirer” of a far-right account, which is known for regularly posting Islamophobic and far-right content on X.
MCB Secretary General Zara Mohammed said it seems “impossible” for the shadow justice secretary to have not seen the account’s regular Islamophobic and far-right hate posts.
