British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has ordered an inquiry into claims made by Conservative MP Nusrat Ghani that she was sacked from her ministerial post because her “Muslimness” was “making colleagues uncomfortable.”

Following a phone conversation with Ghani on Sunday evening, Johnson asked the Cabinet Office to “establish the facts” regarding the allegations.
