Tory racist to stand down at the next election. Spares Rishi a by election I guess.
Having now read the article, I find nothing racist in the altercation.

Alwadaei confronted Stewart at the Bahrainian embassy, shouting at him.

Alwadaei, who is originally from Bahrain.

Stewart shouted, “go back to Bahrain”.

Where’s the racism, if Alwadaei was actually born in the U.K. you could argue Stewart made a racial assumption, which could be argued to be racist, but on this occasion he was wholly accurate.

If I was in Bahrain and shouted something similar to a Bahrainian politician, (for which I would no doubt be arrested) and the MP said to me “ go back to England” . I doubt anyone would construe that as racist.
