UK Conservatives suspend MP over anti-Muslim comments

In recent news, Lee Anderson, a British lawmaker, refuses to apologize for Islamophobic comments he made about Sadiq Khan, the first Muslim mayor of London and a member of the Labour Party. Khan has been criticized by Conservatives for his handling of policing in London. On Wednesday, hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside parliament during a chaotic vote over a potential ceasefire in Gaza. The speaker of the lower house of parliament, Lindsay Hoyle, broke with usual procedure due to previous threats of violence received by some lawmakers.
