Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused the Conservative Party of having "a problem with Muslims" during parliamentary questions, demanding that leader Kemi Badenoch fire shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy over his tweets criticizing public Muslim prayers in Trafalgar Square as "an act of domination." Badenoch defended Timothy as defending British values, but the comments drew criticism from former Conservative officials and scholars who said they misrepresented Islamic prayer and risked fueling anti-Muslim sentiment.
