Sajid Javid, the UK home secretary, literally walked into an opinion not publicly broadcast everyday: the Conservative Party wouldn’t yet elect a Muslim as Prime Minister. Javid, 49, the son of a Pakistani bus diver, became a millionaire banker before he stepped into public life. Normally, home secretaries are invited to Buckingham Palace banquets but Javid was pointedly excluded from the one held for Donald Trump. It is a tiny, tiny, tiny proportion of the population. Javid: I don’t think the party does, I really don’t — that is not to say that there isn’t an issue in society which can include members of political parties.
