In April 2016, Huq defended suspended Labour MP Naz Shah during an interview on BBC's Today programme by comparing "alleged anti-Semitic" posts about Israel shared by Shah on social media to a photo Huq shared of Boris Johnson on a zip-wire next to Barack Obama. She also stressed the fact that Shah's comments were made before she became an MP and that some online comments should not be taken seriously.
Subsequently, Huq was accused of "trivialising racism". Huq later apologised, saying she was not "fully aware" of Shah's comments before defending her.
In September 2022, Huq was accused of making racist comments during a speech at a Labour Party fringe event running parallel to the party conference. Huq said of the Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng, who is black and a member of the Conservative Party, "Superficially he is a black man… if you hear him on the Today Programme, you wouldn't know he is black". In response, figures within the Conservative Party including its chairman demanded the whip be removed from Huq and her expulsion from the Labour Party.
Labour's Deputy Leader Angela Rayner called on Huq to apologise, describing her comments as "unacceptable". Sadiq Khan, the Labour Mayor of London and a friend of Huq, also criticised her statement, saying "What it infers is that all black people speak a certain way and all black people are working class. Rupa is not racist but that comment was".
Huq was suspended from the Labour Party for her comments on 27 September. Huq went on to tweet an apology, but the suspension still remained in place. Huq regained the whip on 3 March, in a statement she gave shortly after Huq re-iterated her apology and stated that she had undertaken and completed anti-racism and bias training.
The BBC has been exposed as Propaganda Machine and these politicians support it
These politicians have proved themselves to favour deceit over truth, propaganda over facts. Recently, the BBC has been exposed for their blatant bias and hatred against President Donald Trump by falsifying speeches that he made to make it look that he encouraged his followers to storm the Capitol building on January the 6th, 2021.
In fact, not only once, but on two different BBC news programmes - Newsnight and Panorama. This obviously caused outrage with the White House prompting Trump to demand an apology, and a cash settlement of $1Billion. Trump publicly asked the question "Is this how they treat their closest ally?" damaging a relation already in the basement since Labour, led by weak Starmer, took office.
The BBC is a member of the International News - a group of left leaning news agencies based in the UK and the USA, and include MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and others. They all conspire to mislead the public by not only hiding the truth, but by blatant lies and propaganda.
Instead of apologising straight away the weak and limp Tim Davie, along with the head of News CEO Deborah Turness, resigned so they didn't have to face the accusations dropped at their respective doors. This behaviour obviously raises the question 'Just how much have they been lying to the UK public about public officials from overseas'. Well, the following few months will answer that, and it seems there is plenty to be exposed. For example: How panorama bosses offered Tommy Robinson's friends money as a bribe to get them to lie about him on camera for their show.
Instead of condemning the BBC for their obvious bias and blatant lies, these British politicians actually took the side of the BBC, an act which clearly shows their complete lack of respect for truth and honesty - a trait that we should not allow in anyone who has a position in public office.
Ongoing. Trumo is determined to teach the BBC a lesson by exposing the width and depth of their lies and propaganda through court action.
