EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Following the Iranian Ambassador’s inflammatory comments on social media, which included urging the country’s diaspora in the UK to "sacrifice their lives for the homeland" Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:
“Inciting violence on our streets is abhorrent. The Government must expel the Iranian Ambassador immediately.
"The Iranian regime has been plotting UK terror attacks for years. Enough is enough.”
