Islamophobia goes 'right up to the top' of the Conservative party.

Former Conservative co-chair Baroness Warsi told Business Insider last year that Islamophobia goes "right up to the top" of the Conservative party.
"It's very widespread [in the Conservative party]. It exists right from the grassroots, all the way up to the top," she told BI.
She said that Islamophobia was now "very widespread" in the party but was being deliberately ignored at the highest levels for electoral reasons.
However, Johnson has dropped a previous pledge to hold an inquiry into the problem within his party, saying that he would only hold a broader inquiry into all types of prejudice within society.
