"Mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish, but they are not welcome in our public spaces and shared institutions."
"She appointed the shadow justice secretary. He said last night that Muslims praying in public are not welcome. If he were in my team, he'd be gone. It's utterly appalling."
"I know who I would rather have sitting on the front bench next to me."
Nick Timothy, Conservative shadow justice secretary, posted on social media criticizing mass public prayer during an Open Iftar event in Trafalgar Square, calling it an act of domination and stating such rituals are unwelcome in public spaces. Labour leader Keir Starmer responded by demanding Timothy's dismissal, arguing the comments reflect a Conservative Party problem with Muslims and comparing the rhetoric to Tommy Robinson's views. Starmer stated Timothy would be removed from his own team immediately. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch defended Timothy, refusing to dismiss him and claiming he was defending British values, contrasting his position favorably with Justice Secretary David Lammy.
