Lee Anderson lost the Conservative whip after refusing to apologize for remarks about Sadiq Khan on GB News, which the London mayor called “Islamophobic, anti-Muslim, and racist.”
Anderson, the MP for Ashfield, faced widespread criticism, leading to his suspension by the Conservative chief whip, Simon Hart.
Anderson will now serve as an independent MP.
His comments on GB News accused Khan of “giving our capital city away to his mates” and suggested that “Islamists” had influence over Khan and London.
Dr David Bull and Dr Renee Hoenderkamp discuss whether suspending him was the right thing to do.
