Legislation is being used to “police” what can and cannot be said about Islam, a Conservative MP has said, as he claimed “blasphemy laws are back”.

Nick Timothy argued the Public Order Act 1986 is being used “far beyond the intent of Parliament”, as he introduced the Freedom of Expression (Religion or Belief System) to Parliament.

Social commentator Rakib Ehsan joins Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan to discuss this further.
