The Muslim Council of Britain has responded sharply to the display of admiration by Robert Jenrick MP, Tory Shadow Secretary of State for Justice of a far-right account on X (formerly Twitter). This follows an earlier outrageous statement in which he claimed on Sky News that individuals who publicly proclaim “God is great” (or Allahu Akbar) should be arrested.
“With the scale of Islamophobia endemic within the Conservative Party, and recently being propagated by some of the most powerful figures in the world, Ms Badenoch cannot allow what appears to be support for such Islamophobic and extreme content from a member of her shadow cabinet.”
“This is an immediate test of Ms Badenoch’s leadership in addressing Islamophobia. Mr Jenrick must be sacked given the clear breach of the Nolan principles, and an investigation must be launched into his record of Islamophobia in recent years.”
