‘Islamophobia’  investigation

Former Conservative home secretary Suella Braverman

A group of Labour MPs are seeking a formal investigation by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) into Reform UK for alleged Islamophobia.

In a letter, signed by 27 parliamentarians, including Diane Abbott and Clive Lewis, the EHRC has been asked to look into potential breaches of the Equality Act 2010 by Reform politicians.

The letter was published on X, but without the appendix referred to within it, citing examples of alleged Islamophobic comments by individuals representing Reform UK.
