The Tories in Westminster could learn a thing or two from their Scottish Conservative colleagues.
They’ve shown leadership on tackling Islamophobia, including marking #IAM2022 and adopting the APPG definition.
@Conservatives are the only major political party who haven’t.
RT @ScotTories: Today marks the start of Islamophobia Awareness Month.
The @ScotTories are committed to tackling racial and religious prejudices of all kinds …

It’s now day 8 and still no sign of any action.
Another Conservative Prime Minister overpromising and underdelivering.

RT @AnasSarwar: Today marks the start of Islamophobia Awareness Month.
Our inquiry report last year laid bare how prevalent an issue it is and made clear recommendations. We need actions, not words.
We can’t pick and choose, there is no hierarchy of prejudice. It is #AFightForAllOfUs. #IAM2022

RT @SarahOwen_: It’s the start of Islamophobia awareness month. Hate crimes against Muslims increased during the pandemic & continue to hurt communities today.
They can’t tackle something undefined - Govt should stop dithering & adopt the @APPGBritMuslims’s definition of Islamophobia. #IAM2022

Outrageous and reckless language used here.
Given Mark Spencer’s history of Islamophobia, really makes you wonder why he was ever promoted.
Is this the integrity you promised @RishiSunak?
RT @PaulBrandITV: Conservative MP pretty fuming about this choice of language by Mark Spencer.
“‘Little Man in China’ and he is already under an ongoing investigation for telling a MP that her being muslim is uncomfortable.”
