Lee Anderson: Sunak needs to condemn his comments for what they are
EMBARGO: For Immediate Release
Responding to Rishi Sunak and Mark Harper’s latest comments on Lee Anderson this morning, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper MP said:
“The refusal of Rishi Sunak and his ministers to properly call out Lee Anderson’s extreme comments shows just how low the Conservative Party has fallen.
“Rishi Sunak needs to condemn Anderson’s comments for what they are, Islamophobic and racist, and make clear he won’t be let back into the Conservative Party.
“Anything less would confirm yet again that Sunak is too weak to control his party let alone govern the country.”
