Rishi Sunak lit candles to mark Diwali, which begins this weekend.

​Dominique Samuels, a radical, orthodox conservative - and member of an ultra authoritarian group - tweeted that the Chancellor laying out candles for Diwali was somehow virtue signalling.

Many were unhappy at the remarks with some calling for the reply to the tweet to be deleted.

This is not the first time Samuels has courted controversy, having been labelled homophobic by many Tory centre ground youth leaders. 

Samuels later quote tweeted her original tweet, apologising for any offence caused and suggesting the tweet was "badly worded".
