The Reform MP, who represents Ashfield, wrote on X: "Remember This? You called for the whip to be removed from me over Islamaphobic comments yet your Govt has no definition of Islamaphobia. What have you been up to lately?"

"In their logic, they put everything through the prism of race-baiting and divisiveness.
“I genuinely think that given what she said, she should have the whip removed from her.

Other Labour figures, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy, hailed Ms Badenoch's election as the first black leader of a major UK party as a historic moment.
