Sadiq Khan has accused Rishi Sunak of "enabling anti-Muslim hatred" after he failed to explicitly condemn Lee Anderson for saying that the London mayor was being controlled by Islamists. Mr Anderson, the former deputy chairman of the Conservative party, was suspended on Saturday after refusing to apologise for saying that Islamists had "got control" of Mr Khan and were in charge of London.
She told Matthew: "At the very highest levels of the Conservative Party, you've got people stoking and inciting this... anger and hate and division, rather than trying to calm the situation down and stand for something better. "There are lots of things that Labour will need to fix if we're trusted to with government in a few months time. But one of the biggest of all is our political discourse in this country and the poison that's allowed to be allowed to creep into it.
