    A reminder that @BrandonLewis is lying on @bbcquestiontime. The Conservative Party often does *not* kick people out who have engaged in Islamophobia - even people who share Islamophobia from the far-right! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽https://twitter.com/miqdaad/status/1199453479401639938 …

    In response to the concerns of Islamophobia in the Conservative Party raised by @MuslimCouncil, Mr Boris Johnson said: "...if anybody is done for Islamophobia or any other prejudice or discrimination in the Conservative Party they are out first bounce" Let's test that, shall we?

        The words of the Prime Minister - as a leading politician - calling Muslim women who wear the burqa, "letterboxes" is using language of the far-right - and led to *real* hate crime on the street. This is racism pure and simple, and he is yet to apologise.https://twitter.com/miqdaad/status/1028184015361265665 …

        Impact of Boris Johnson's words on niqab is real & should be recognised & empathised with as part of these discussions 1. Muslim women mocked on street as letterboxes 2. Pensioners echo niqab comments at doctor's surgery 3. Muslim woman & kids abused abused outside medical centre

        The legacy of Brandon Lewis is: - 100s of cases of Islamophobia under his tenure - No transparency - He misled the public - He repeatedly ignored complaints & failed to investigate complaints - He secretly let people back He should not be allowed to get away with lying.
