The authors of a controversial report into racism last night demanded a parliamentary probe into an MP who appeared to compare them to the Ku Klux Klan.
Last month the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities said it found no evidence of institutional racism and criticised the way the term was applied, saying it should not be used as a catch-all phrase for any micro-aggression.
Labour MP Clive Lewis reacted to the report by tweeting a photo of a KKK member in front of a burning cross with the caption: Move along. Nothing to see here #RaceReport.

The mystery over the lavish makeover of the Prime Minister s Downing Street flat deepened last night after claims emerged of a secret Tory money trail used to pay for it.
Conservative tycoon Lord Brownlow is said to have paid an estimated £60,000 to Tory HQ after the party had paid a similar sum via the Cabinet Office to help Mr Johnson and fiancée Carrie Symonds refit their apartment.
