Tory shadow minister claims Luton has ‘no-go zones’ where ‘white people won’t go’

Blake Stephenson tells fringe meeting at Tory conference that the town is ‘a very dangerous place’ with ‘ghettoes’

A shadow Conservative Home Office minister has claimed there are “no-go zones” in Luton where “white people won’t go”.

Blake Stephenson, the MP for Mid Bedfordshire who was appointed to the Tory frontbench role two weeks ago, claimed the town was “a very dangerous place” where some communities “live in ghettoes”.
