Nusrat Ghani, the MP for Wealden, claims she lost her job as a transport minister in February 2020 because a government whip said her faith was 'making colleagues uncomfortable'.

, Ms Ghani said that in a briefing afterwards with the whips, she was told that her ‘Muslimness’ had been raised as an issue at a meeting in Downing Street.

A spokesman for the whips’ office said the allegations were ‘categorically untrue’ and that the Conservative Party did not tolerate racism or discrimination. ‘When I challenged whether this was in any way acceptable and made clear there was little I could do about my identity, I had to listen to a monologue on how hard it was to define when people are being racist and that the party doesn’t have a problem and I needed to do more to defend it.
