Angela Rayner is set to appoint former Tory MP Dominic Grieve to lead a new body on Islamophobia. The committee of 16 people will define anti-Muslim prejudice. Grieve previously served as Attorney General and wrote the foreword to a 2018 report on Islamophobia. The report's definition, later adopted by the Labour Party, specifies that Islamophobia is rooted in racism. Grieve is willing to consider leading the council on a non-party political basis.
