Tory Islamophobia row: Warsi accuses Hancock of ‘whitesplaining’
Warsi hits back at minister for saying ‘others take a more balanced approach’ than Muslim peer
Sayeeda Warsi has denounced her Conservative party colleague Matt Hancock for “whitesplaining” Islamophobia to her after he suggested “there are others who take a more balanced approach” to the issue.
Lady Warsi responded furiously to Hancock, the health secretary, after his comments on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme while addressing the Conservative party’s decision not to hold an inquiry into Islamophobia.
