Lee Anderson: Sadiq Khan criticises PM for failing to condemn MP’s remarks

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has criticized Prime Minister Boris Johnson for failing to condemn MP Lee Anderson’s controversial remarks.

Anderson, a Conservative MP for Ashfield, has faced backlash for comments he made about the Black Lives Matter movement during a recent House of Commons debate.

In a statement, Mayor Khan expressed disappointment in the Prime Minister’s response to Anderson’s remarks, saying that it is important for leaders to speak out against divisive rhetoric and uphold the values of equality and inclusion.

Anderson has since apologized for his comments, but the incident has reignited debate over the role of elected officials in promoting social cohesion and fighting against discrimination.

As the controversy continues to unfold, many are calling for stronger action from political leaders to address issues of racism and intolerance in society.
