Tory activist suspended for saying Muslim MP Naz Shah should 'go back to Pakistan'

A video was shared on Tory Member Theodora Dickinson’s Twitter account showing MP Naz Shah speaking about child poverty with a caption calling her “racist”

Hawzah News Agency - (London - UK) - A Tory member has been suspended from the Conservative Party after she said a Labour MP should “go back to Pakistan”.

A video was shared on Tory Member Theodora Dickinson’s Twitter account showing MP Naz Shah speaking about child poverty with a caption calling her “racist”.

The caption said: “If racist Naz Shah hates this country so much why doesn’t she go back to Pakistan?!”

The post has since been deleted and the Standard has made attempts to contact Ms Dickinson for a response.

Ms Dickinson has been pictured with Boris Johnson, former Prime Minister Theresa May, current Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and several other Tory MPs.

She ran as a Conservative Party candidate in Deal in the 2019 local election, according to her Twitter account.

Ms Shah, a prominent Muslim MP who has previously spoken out about racism, told the Standard: "This kind of blatant racism will not deter me from speaking out.

“Quite the opposite, it just reinforces why it's necessary to fight vile bigotry and intolerance and makes me more determined.

“The question for Boris Johnson is, why is this sort of person drawn to him and his party?”

Ms Shah was born and raised in Bradford West where she is now the serving MP.
