This is a stupid, tone deaf, appalling thing for a prime minister who's boasted of how lovely and inclusive his policies are to say. Kudos (I never thought I'd say this) to the unnamed Tory MP who presumably took it upon themselves to record it:

“It is profoundly depressing – this whole ‘othering’ of minorities – pretty much any minority. Without stopping to think we have equalities legislation for a reason, to stop discrimination against anyone with a protected characteristic – we should be trying to understand and support, not belittle and demonise.”
