The party has launched an investigation after Theodora Dickinson, who formerly worked for Vote Leave, made the comments about shadow minister Naz Shah on social media. In a now-deleted tweet, she responded to a post in which the Bradford West MP discusses her experience of poverty, saying if "Naz Shah hates this country so much why doesn't she go back to Pakistan?!" Lady Warsi, a former Conservative Party chair, tweeted: "The Tory suspended this week for saying Muslim MP should go back to Pakistan was someone I raised concerns about over a year ago - I was told then she was suspended. An independent inquiry into all forms of prejudice within the Conservative Party is currently ongoing. A party spokeswoman said: "Theodora Dickinson has been suspended pending the outcome of an investigation."
