Rishi Sunak faces criticism for not condemning Lee Anderson's racist comments against Sadiq Khan and London. Various figures, including Sadiq Khan and political commentators, accuse Sunak of being weak and unwilling to address Islamophobia. Sunak's handling of the situation is seen as lacking leadership and catering to racist voters.
“Given the week he's had I do wonder why Rishi Sunak doesn't want there to be a May 2 election.” Rishi Sunak should question the background checks into Party donors after the “abhorrent” Frank Hester racist row, says @NickyMorgan01 on #TimesRadio. @CalumAM | @KaitBorsay https://t.co/06md5PGhm3
Who is Rishi Sunak kidding. We all know had a Muslim said 'X should be shot' it would be extremism. STHU with these double standards. https://t.co/i64VlwAp7u
Rishi Sunak is "too weak and scared of his backbenchers" to call out the "clearly Islamophobic, anti-Muslim and racist" comments made by Lee Anderson, @SadiqKhan tells @Mariellaf1 Frostrup on #TimesRadio. https://t.co/53gPcV1rQK
It's unacceptable Rishi Sunak still refuses to call Lee Anderson’s comments racist, anti-Muslim & Islamophobic. He either doesn’t understand Islamophobia or is scared of upsetting his backbenchers. Either way, he continues to show how weak & unfit he is to be the PM. #Extremism https://t.co/NrA0ci1GQY

'The reason Rishi Sunak has acted this way is sadly because he doesn't want to alienate racist voters.' Political commentator Matthew Stadlen tells @IainDale the way the government has dealt with the Frank Hester situation shows that 'our Prime Minister doesn't have a grip'. https://t.co/XAxlwlAexJ
