Q15: Why does it appear that complaints are only dealt with when there is a media spotlight, with councillors who have been involved with Islamophobia, being quietly reinstated under the radar

Q16: Why is there denial of the existence of a problem with Islamophobia from across your Party?

There is a structural and institutional problem of Islamophobia within the Conservative Party - and attempts to brush it off, will not make it go away.

We will not let it.
