Conservative MP Found Guilty of Racially Aggravated Public Order Offence

The Conservative Party is facing calls to suspend MP Bob Stewart after he was found guilty of a racially aggravated public order offence. Stewart, the MP for Beckenham in south east London, has been fined £600 and ordered to pay legal costs of £835 following the verdict handed down by Westminster magistrates’ court on Friday. The incident took place outside the Foreign Office’s Lancaster House on December 14 last year.

The charge followed a complaint from activist Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei, who says he is living in exile after being tortured in the Gulf state of Bahrain. Stewart was alleged to have told Alwadaei during an angry confrontation to “go back to Bahrain”, “get stuffed” and that he is “taking money off my country”.

Alwadaei's Response

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Alwadaei said: “No-one should think twice about holding an MP or members of the government to account because of their skin colour. When I reported Mr Stewart to the Conservative Party, they didn’t take action against him and when he was charged, they refused to suspend him. Given today’s verdict, I expect them to take immediate action.”

Following the judgement, the Conservatives are facing calls for Stewart to lose the party whip, meaning he would have to sit in parliament as an independent MP. Liberal Democrat chief whip Wendy Chamberlain MP said: “It’s time Sunak finally acted with integrity. This should start with immediately removing the whip from Bob Stewart. Failing to remove the whip sends a dangerous message that behaviour like this is acceptable. Rishi Sunak has allowed his first year as prime minister to be dogged in sleaze and scandal, the very least he could do now is to finally crack down on it.”
