‘My main issue with Qatar is the heat’
Conservative MP Crouch ignores exploitation of workers

NEW Sports Minister Tracey Crouch showed her true colours yesterday when discussing the Premier League television deal and the 2022 World Cup, saying that the main reason the 2022 World Cup should be moved from Qatar was due to the heat.

In previous interviews around the staging of the tournament in the Gulf nation, Crouch has used the controversy surrounding the way Qatar won the right to host the tournament and weather as her reasons for not wanting to see the World Cup staged in Qatar.

And an interview with her local radio station in Kent yesterday morning, Crouch said that she wouldn’t want to watch games in the searing heat, totally ignoring the continued exploitation of migrant workers.
