One man who posted a photo of himself campaigning for the Tory party wrote on Facebook about killing Muslims: “I was going through a few magazines the other day down at the local Mosque. I was really enjoying myself. Then the rifle jammed.” buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…

Other shocking new Islamophobic comments by 25 people self-identifying as Tory members:
- “Tow them back out to sea, sink the boat. Simples”
- “No Muslim will get my vote”
- another shared BNP donations page “to stand against Islamification of our country” buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…

NEW: CCHQ faces cover-up claims as it refuses to say how many of the 25 it has suspended. It will only confirm it has made suspensions today. Overall Tory Islamophobia suspensions now at 40 and rising, as the party insists it doesn’t have a racism problem buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…

Here is @SayeedaWarsi tonight condemning CCHQ for its lack of transparency. Real questions now over the Tory party’s complaints procedure. These people are only dealt with when we put them to CCHQ, and they won’t say what action they’re taking against who. buzzfeed.com/alexwickham/to…
