'I wasn't saying the entire UK is racist': US TV host Trevor Noah denies saying Britain was a racist country after he was accused of inventing 'backlash' against new PM - with Rishi Sunak and Sajid Javid also taking him to task

In a video posted on Twitter from his US satirical news programme, Trevor Noah, 38, alleged there were people saying 'now the Indians are going to take over Great Britain' after Rishi Sunak was appointed prime minister. His comments received a backlash online from many UK politicians including former Cabinet minister Sajid Javid, who said they were 'simply wrong'. Talk TV host Piers Morgan also criticised The Daily Show and other US media outlets for 'falsely portraying Britain as a racist country'. Responding to Morgan on Twitter, Noah said: 'C'mon Piers you're smarter than that. I wasn't saying ''The entire UK is racist'', I was responding to the racists who don't want Rishi as PM because of his race... That's why I said ''Some people''.
