Labour frontbencher Jess Phillips has been accused of 'racist and bullying behaviour' after getting into a row on social media with high-profile headteacher Katharine Birbalsingh. Sky News has contacted Ms Phillips for her response
She also said that she would be reporting Ms Phillips to the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.
"My view is that Ms Phillips' extreme and unprompted hostility towards me is motivated by my race. By this I do not mean that she hates all people of colour."Her behaviour is a clear example of 'unconscious bias'. I mean that she hates me, despite not knowing me, because she subscribes to the idea that Black and Asian individuals in public life owe a duty to voice opinions that match with a left-wing view of the world, or they are worthy of her contempt.
