Official review finds widespread Islamophobia in the Tory Party and failures to investigate internal allegations of racism
Prime Minister Boris Johnson who once compared women wearing burkas to letterboxes and bank robbers

A DAMNING report has identified widespread Islamophobia in the Tory Party as well as failures to investigate internal allegations of racism.

The long-awaited review into discrimination in the Conservative Party published today found that two thirds of all such complaints related to Islamophobia. 

Report author Professor Swaran Singh said comments made by Prime Minister Boris Johnson comparing women wearing burkas to letterboxes and bank robbers gave the impression of being “insensitive to Muslim communities.”
