Check out the latest political drama as Labour calls for action against Tory members Liz Truss and Lee Anderson. What's the fuss all about? Find out here!
In a heated political showdown, Labour is demanding the removal of Liz Truss and Lee Anderson from the Conservative Party over controversial remarks and media appearances. Anderson's comments about London Mayor Sadiq Khan have sparked outrage within both Labour and Tory circles. The Muslim Council of Britain has also responded to the surge of Islamophobic comments made by leading figures in the Conservative Party.
The tension escalated further when Tory Minister Grant Shapps distanced himself from Anderson's statements, adding pressure on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to take action. Susan Hall's silence on Anderson's attack on Sadiq Khan has raised eyebrows, with fellow London Conservatives condemning the MP's remarks.
