Website mixes up Muslim MPS

Parliamentary authorities have hastily edited a website displaying MPS’ portraits after Shabana Mahmood’s profile showed a photograph of the wrong female Muslim Labour MP.

Birmingham Ladywood MP Ms Mahmood’s page instead showed a picture of Rushanara Ali, who represents Bethnal Green and Bow. Ms Ali said: “These things happen.sometimesigetconfused between bald white male Cabinet ministers. We shouldn’t take these things too seriously.”

After being alerted to the mix-up, parliamentary authorities quickly removed the photograph of Ms Ali from Ms Mahmood’s profile, which currently does not display a picture. 0 Rushanara Ali: ‘It shouldn’t be taken too seriously’
