Boris Johnson is under mounting pressure to hold an inquiry into claims a junior minister was sacked because of her “Muslimness”.
Health secretary Sajid Javid followed Nadhim Zahawi in insisting that the incendiary allegations by Nusrat Ghani were properly looked into.
Ghani claimed that following her dismissal as a transport minister in February 2020, she was told by a Government whip that her faith made colleagues “uncomfortable” and that her career would be “destroyed” if she tried to complain.
