Education Secretary: Islamophobia claims are 'very serious'

A Cabinet Office investigation has been launched into claims from Conservative MP Nusrat Ghani that she was sacked as a minister because of her Muslim faith.

Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi told Sky's Kay Burley that allegations of Islamophobia are 'very serious' and the Cabinet Office 'should look at this properly'.

Zahawi cannot be believed. I will not trust him. A coverup, like usual.

Why should I be scared of drawing a cartoon? But not scared of the person who is going to behead me for drawing said cartoon?

Do they just get up in the morning and think "how much obvious bullshit can I come out with today?"

We all thought we are part of them until they tell us that we are not.

A phobia is an irrational fear. Given how many members of this religion behave, I see no reason why fear of it should be considered irrational.

Why dont POC take anglophobia serious?
Until this is addressed I couldn't give two tosses about "Islamophobia".

When she complained to Boris he told her to put in an official complaint, she didn’t, why ?

[mistertjon]

Serves u lot fcin right! When there was an enquiry into institutional racism in parliament prompted by black leaders, not one Asian politician stood with it, now the same issue is biting them. Probably justified too, I bet she fast tracked a few people which was unacceptable

[chrismurphy]

At least zahawi who has expressed moral support for the corrupt Boris.
has said here it's only taken two years to get an inquiry of no bearing here which is abit more then the 18 months or so for the non apolagy and inquiry of no legal bearing into all the 17 parties

[tomhud]

She is lying but when in doubt pull out the race card.

[gasproma]

Boris buying time to keep his position.

[വൈഷ്ണവ്]

It's the truth. Not a phobia.expose the truth !!

[roserose-gtif]

Why hasn't she mentioned this before to the media? And she felt it wasn't worth putting in a complaint. I get that but shes still should have anyway

[kevinb]

They're not serious unless there is a shred of evidence. Which there isn't.

Nice PsyOp by the Tories, the main issue here is the parties attended by Boris why I couldn’t even go the gym
