The former Tory deputy chairman has been suspended from the party after “refusing to apologise” for comments aimed at Sadiq Khan.

Lee Anderson told GB News on Friday “Islamists” had “got control” of the mayor of London.

Mr Khan described the remarks as “pouring fuel on the fire of anti-Muslim hatred”.

Losing the Tory whip essentially expels Mr Anderson from his party in Parliament.
