The Tory party and Islam: Lewis Goodall and James Cleverly go head-to-head
Lewis Goodall is joined by Shadow Housing Secretary and Conservative MP for Braintree, James Cleverly, who acted as Foreign Secretary from 2022-2023.
The pair discuss the UK's involvement in the Iran war and Lewis asks 'Do the Conservative Party have a problem with Muslims?' in wake of fellow Tory MP, Nick Timothy's controversial comments.
In a post on X, Mr Timothy said: “Mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination.”
He continued: “Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions.”
The Conservative MP was referring to an Open Iftar event held in Trafalgar Square on Monday, which was attended by London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan.
Mr Timothy’s comments showed the Tories had a “problem with Muslims”, the Prime Minister claimed, as he pressed Mrs Badenoch to “denounce” them.
