Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, the UK's first Muslim cabinet member, has accused the Conservative Party of attempting to 'demonize' her after she criticized the party over Islamophobia. Warsi was recently told she was not welcome back into the party in the House of Lords, where she holds a seat. She had resigned from the party in September, claiming they had moved too far to the right. Warsi has now been cleared of 'bringing the party into disrepute' by a disciplinary panel investigating a tweet supporting a pro-Palestinian protester. However, the Conservatives have stated they will not restore the party whip to her, meaning she cannot be affiliated with the party in the Lords.
