Jeremy Corbyn was urged to intervene after her comments — from 2010 and 2011 — sparked uproar. One blog attacked Mr Bailey for allegedly describing North Kensington, where he grew up, as a “ghetto”.

Mr Bailey, who was standing to become an MP in West London when Ms Dent Coad wrote the blog, said: “I am shocked and saddened by the hate-filled, racist article written by Labour MP Emma Dent Coad.”

Tory MP James Cleverley labelled her language “vile”.

He said: “This once again highlights a distasteful prejudice towards black Conservatives that I’ve called out before. When will Labour deal with this?”

Ms Dent Coad, Labour MP for former Tory stronghold North Kensington, recently made slurs against Prince Harry’s military career.

Neither she nor Labour responded to a request for a comment yesterday.
