When Louise Mensch thinks of British Muslims, she thinks of Sunny Hundal (who’s not Muslim)

Former Tory MP Louise Mensch has put her foot in it. Here’s what she tweeted last night:

louise mensch sunny

Which would be fine, if LabourList’s own Sunny Hundal was a British Muslim. Except he isn’t. As he tweeted back:

sunny

Awkward… Louise might have come away from this ok if she had accepted her mistake. But she compounded it by tweeting this:

louise mensch2

So you can tell someone’s religion by their politics and their tweets? Who knew?

 

Perhaps Louise should stick to doing what she does best – attacking the Labour party from across the Atlantic rather than working for the Corby constituents she left in the lurch…
