UK PM Starmer demands firing of Conservative official after calling Muslim prayer gathering an "act of domination."

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has demanded Conservative shadow justice secretary Nick Timothy be fired after Timothy labeled a Muslim prayer gathering in London’s Trafalgar Square as an “act of domination,” calling it an Islamist tactic. Starmer condemned the remarks as “utterly appalling” and divisive, emphasizing that such events reflect Britain’s diverse society. He urged Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch to denounce the comments and remove Timothy, while Labour and other figures criticized the remarks as discriminatory. Timothy defended his statement, claiming it was misunderstood, but faced backlash from across the political spectrum, including from former attorney general Dominic Grieve and Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy. The incident has heightened tensions over religious expression and the tone of political discourse in the UK.
