Kay burley is the reason why I don’t watch sky news anymore !

[MrEd]

Isn't it funny how Boris needed a distraction, and all of a sudden a story like this emerges just in the nick of time

Islamophobia is a silly term that deliberately conflates racism with criticism of a belief system. It’s used to bludgeon people into silence if they dare to speak in opposition to a facet of the ideology, it’s not racism but is always portrayed as such.

[SimplySketchyGT]

Didn't they already investigate themselves for islamaphobia in the party and found themselves to be not guilty of being islamaphobic? Seems to me that we need independent investigations. Not the accused investigating themselves.

[peterpluim]

Is there anyone left who is not investigating or under investigation?

[bunbwre]

Seems odd that she didn't take it further at the time.

[vtechead]

Boris told her to make a formal complaint, she didn’t. Why wait till now.

[rockyroll]

Please also investigate Christianophobia among the MPs.

[proskipper]

Talk about marking your own homework....

[marlenesamuels]

Islam is a religion as is christianity, we dont understand that to be racist, racism is based on your being as a race so this appears to be shape shifting and changing the real subject

[jackieogden]

The Gray report will be factual, and not pass any conclusions - and she was appointed by the PM at the end of the day, so I am not holding my breath.

[Mr.]

Self-inquiry
Self-certification
😆😆😆

[robertsmith]

Nobody believes a word he's saying, including himself.

*I SEE THE PAID TORY TROLLS* have yet to arrive on this video... Give it a few minutes and the comments will be filled with suspiciously identical comments...

Today's pre paid talking point seems to be "She is lying - why did she not report it 2 years ago" - yesterday it was "What about Kier Starmer's party"

[SueLyons]

02:36 Sajid Javid and the reporter discuss Nadim Zahawi's concern

[nasimalovley]

There should be an investigation on the police knowingly standing guard.

[alaninsoflo]

No Kay, he is not "LITERALLY hanging on by his fingertips".

[howler]

This man was a disaster last week, disaster this week.
Why is HE selected to be front man?
He is a waste of space...has more mind changes than a bus load of psychos.

[jaynecooney]

I think the news has to much say in anything now time to pull the plug

[kennethmcdonald]

Is it Islamophobia to ask why Islam says "a woman's testimony is worth less than half that of a man"? Tell me the sect of Islam that treats women as equal.
