Sultana has voiced strong support for BLM throughout the insurrection, including an astonishing tweet on June 6 in which she shared legal advice for protesters arrested or stopped by police. Such anti-police sentiment from a serving MP is abhorrent, especially considering how she will pass police officers on her way into work who are there to keep the likes of her safe. Sultana has also backed the toppling of statues and has called for the "brutality of British colonialism to be taught in schools". The people of Coventry South must be wondering who on earth they've elected.

It should come as no surprise to see a hard left MP like Sultana so enthusiastically embracing BLM. Where there is a cause that is hostile to Britain you will find the likes of Corbyn and co getting behind it. The motivation behind BLM is no longer in question for anyone who cares to undertake the simplest research. It is a Marxist cause dedicated to abolishing the police and dismantling capitalism. Ironically it has little to do with black lives. Therefore the sight of Labour's supposedly moderate leaders taking the knee is ultimately going to backfire in the long term.
