No Apology by Lee Anderson + SNP v Speaker (Round 2)
Sunak avoids saying if he thought Anderson鈥檚 comments were Islamophobic
Today, we look at the continued row over Lee Anderson鈥檚 refusal to apologise for comments aimed at Sadiq Khan. The Ashfield MP has said his words were 鈥渃lumsy鈥�, but said saying sorry 鈥渨ould be a sign of weakness鈥�. Rishi Sunak says the comments by Mr Anderson were 鈥渨rong鈥� but fell short of describing them as Islamophobic.
Plus Adam and Chris are joined by leader of the SNP in the House of Commons, Stephen Flynn who says the Speaker Lindsay Hoyle is 鈥減ulling parliament into disrepute鈥�.
