Labour MP tells Boris Johnson to apologise for burqa remarks

The Labour MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, who wears a turban, won a round of applause in the Commons for asking an angry and passionate question about Boris Johnson’s language about minorities, and particularly his column about Muslim women who wear the burqa looking like letterboxes. The prime minister said his comments were 'a strong liberal defence of what women wear', adding: 'Under this government, we have the most diverse cabinet in the history of this country'.
