Good to speak to Marielle Frostrup earlier about the disgraceful Islamophobic language being used by Lee Anderson, and others. There should be no place for Islamophobia, Antisemitism or racism of any other sort in our public discourse.
The fact he is doubling down on the utter nonsense he has been talking is a disgrace, as is the fact that none of the UK Tory Ministers on broadcast rounds today seem able to say the word "islamophobia" to describe his remarks.
Particularly at a time of significant tension, when we know full well the shocking increases in the levels of Islamophobic and Antisemitic hatred communities are experiencing, this should be when we measure our words carefully, and work to engage and include communities.
