LBC host Sangita Myska powerfully dealt with a racist caller claiming that Rishi Sunak isnt even British.

The caller who claimed to be a Conservative party member rung into the radio station amid the ongoing speculation of who will be making a bid to be the next Prime Minister, after Liz Truss announced her resignation.

Boris Johnson and former Chancellor Sunaks names have both been thrown into the mix, although nothing of yet has been confirmed, while Penny Mordaunt has officially thrown her hat into the ring.

The caller, Jerry, claimed Sunak doesnt love England and isnt even British in most peoples opinion.

He said: We want Boris back and Boris has the best chance of winning the next general election.

Jerry also claimed that 80% of Tory party members support Johnson.

He continued: Rishis not going to win it. Rishis not even British, in most peoples opinion. Hes got American allegiance, his familys American. Theyre Indian businesspeople. Hell go and live in America no doubt. He doesn’t love England like Boris does.

Myska, after a stunned moment, pointed out that Sunak was born and educated in England, explaining that he is a British citizen, and his British background.

She continued: He is the man who many people credit, through the furlough scheme, [that] saved the economy, and you dont think that proves that hes British?

However, after arguing some more and stating that Sunaks wife is not British, Jerry then hit back with an unfounded claim: Half of al-Qaeda are British citizens.

Myska replied: Can I just be clear here, have you just liked Rishi Sunak, the former Chancellor and possibly the next Prime Minister, to a member of al-Qaeda?

Im just saying having a British passport doesnt mean youre a true English patriot who loves England, Boris loves England and Rishi Sunak will be decimated, Jerry argued.

Jerry tried to continue arguing that he was speaking what Tory voters believe.

Myska then powerfully put Jerry on the spot, asking what it would take for him to consider Sunak British enough for Tory members like you to vote for him?

Jerry persisted: I dont think he loves England, while Myska was seen with her head in her hands.

When Jerry used the word globalist during one of his so-called arguments, Myska quickly shut him down, saying: Please dont use the phrase globalist again because many of my Jewish listeners will find that incredibly offensive because it has also been used, at times , as a racist put down to the Jewish community.

She later asked him directly: Is the problem Jerry that Rishi Sunak is a brown man and you dont trust him at the top of this country?

Jerry replied: Well could you imagine him going to the Scottish nationalists and being the Prime Minister of the Scottish nationalists? Could you imagine me becoming the Prime Minister of Pakistan or Saudi Arabia? No! These things matter. Im sorry you dont like it, but were talking about England. 85% of English people are white English people and they want to see a Prime Minister that reflects them. I cant just go to India and be the Prime Minister there can I?

Myska hit his own words back to him to which he then accused her of twisting it, however she ended: I think youre losing this argument Jerry, I think youre a racist, and its absolutely fascinating that you and other Tory Party members think like this .

Shortly after Jerry called me @LBC we went to an advert break. Id be lying if I said dealing with racism and bigotry doesnt take its toll on PoC. It does. Luckily my producer @catrionabeck had my back. PS. Im in full recovery mode, at home, with most English dish of all: curry pic.twitter.com/JhgjLoI7if
