Loughborough Labour MP Jeevun Sandher has sparked an online row after telling BBC Politics Live that Britain is a nation of both Winston Churchill and London mayor Sadiq Khan. He also paired composer Edward Elgar with grime star Stormzy, arguing the country's cultures are intertwined. He added that Britons can read both Shakespeare and Zadie Smith, prompting widespread mockery from many critics on social media.
