BREAKING: @MuslimCouncil say it’s “wholly inappropriate” and “insensitive” to appoint @TrevorPTweets to provide expert support for the review looking into disproportionate deaths in BAME people from #COVID19. He is being investigated for alleged islamophobic comments @SkyNews

The review which is being lead by @PHE_uk will look into whether ethnicity is a factor in deaths of this pandemic.
MCB add: “Appointing Mr Phillips who’s boasted about being labelled “Islamophobe” sends a clear signal to Muslims that PHE is not taking this matter seriously.”

For context, here’s when and why @TrevorPTweets was suspended from @UKLabour https://news.sky.com/story/labour-veteran-trevor-phillips-suspended-over-islamophobia-allegations-11953457
