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.

On Saturday afternoon, Mr Khan responded to Mr Anderson's comments which he described as "Islamophobic, anti-Muslim and racist".

"These comments pour fuel on the fire of anti-Muslim hatred," Mr Khan said.

The London mayor added he was "unclear why Rishi Sunak and members of his Cabinet" were not calling out the remarks or condemning the comments.

Pressure then mounted on Rishi Sunak to take action over the comments from the Ashfield MP after Mr Khan criticised a "deafening silence" from the prime minister and his Cabinet.

His expulsion is long overdue. It is shameful that Sunak ever appointed him deputy chairman. I suppose it was because of his appeal to far-right fascists, racists, bigots and haters who are tory party members, the GB News audience.

Don't relax! It's only your tension that's holding you together.
