The Boris I know is liberal and respectful of all different communities. He loves the great melting point that is London and recognises what diverse cultures bring to our capital city. I regret he made these comments because I think they are divisive at a time when tensions are already high even though I am no fan of the burka.

Perior was a guest on The News Quiz on BBC Radio 4 in January [10] and May 2019, [11] and January 2022: [12] she has also appeared on Politics Live and Good Morning Britain.

Perrior lives in Sidcup in the London Borough of Bexley, where she was a local Conservative Party Councillor in the early 2000s.

In 2022, Perrior appointed former Labour MP, Luciana Berger, as Managing Director at iNHouse Communications. [13]
