Mr Ainsworth

Your quotes from the Telegraph are the usual selective sniping regarding Reform and Conservative politicians but forget to mention Zahawi's background.

Always negative and never positive.

'Asked about his 2015 comments about Mr Farage today, Mr Zahawi told a reporter: 'Good on you for digging out a tweet from 11 years ago.

'But all I would say to you is if I thought this man sitting next to me in any way had an issue with people of my colour or my background who have come to this country, who have integrated, assimilated, proud of this country, worked hard for this country, paid millions of pounds in taxes in this country, invested in this country, I wouldn't be sitting next to him. And I don't think he would be sitting next to me either.'

Mr Zahawi arrived in Britain in the 1970s as a Kurdish refugee fleeing Saddam Hussein's brutal regime in Iraq.

He has previously described how, aged 11, he sat at the back of a classroom in the UK 'unable to speak a word of English'.

But he went on to make a fortune founding polling firm YouGov from an office in his garden shed, as well as building a £100million property portfolio.

His political career saw him first enter Parliament as a Tory MP in 2010 before becoming Chancellor little more than 12 years later.'

You just cannot stand immigrants that come to this country, don't continually bang on about being discriminated against, assimilate into its culture and way of life and make a major contribution to its success.
