NEW: Tory MP Bob Blackman was exposed sharing a platform with Katie Hopkins & David Vance

ICYMI he has a long history linked to Islamophobia inc RTing Tommy Robinson

@Conservatives claim a "zero tolerance" policy: we know what that really means (thread)
independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
History of Bob Blackman MP:

1. RTed Tommy Robinson
2. Hosted anti-Muslim extremist in Parliament
3. Shared fake news from anti-Muslim site
4. Shared an anti-Muslim Facebook post
5. Was part of anti-Muslim Facebook groups
6. Shared platform with Hopkins & Vance

*No action taken*
Here, Blackman claims he didn't know he was sharing a platform with Hopkins & Vance despite being on the agenda

But
- He chose not to say anything even when he apparently did find out
- Even now he chose not to apologise

Given his history, this is all the more unacceptable

Yesterday, 3 Conservative MPs (@NadineDorries, @lucyallan & @mariacaufield) shared a post from a man with a history of far-right Islamophobia. They have not apologised

They are not the only sitting Conservative MPs with serious issues when it comes to Islamophobia.

Thread.
Karl McCartney (@karlmccartney) *repeatedly* promoted tweets by far right Islamophobic activists like Katie Hopkins & Tommy Robinson

No action has been taken

3 Conservative MPs Nadine Dorries, Maria Caulfield and Lucy Allan today shared a doctored video from this Islamophobic far-right account

ICYMI: Dorries has a history sharing from the far-right & propagating Islamophobia (see thread)

Will action be taken this time?

ht @hughster
Here is Nadine Dorries sharing from the far right Islamophobe "Tommy Robinson"

The tweet is still up and she hasn't apologised.

(Note: contents not available as Twitter deleted Tommy Robinson's account)

She shared this misleading tweet from a supporter of the far-right anti-Islam party For Britain

(before deleting without apology).
