The Conservative MP Lee Anderson has claimed that Islamists have 'got control of London' and its mayor, Sadiq Khan. Labour has called for the prime minister, Rishi Sunak, to remove the party whip from Anderson in response to the comments. A Conservative source said: 'Lee was simply making the point that the mayor, in his capacity as [police and crime commissioner] for London, has abjectly failed to get a grip on the appalling Islamist marches we have seen in London recently'
