A Conservative MP has told how he feels demeaned and discriminated against after learning he will be hit by Donald Trump's travel ban.
Nadhim Zahawi, who was born Baghdad in Iraq, has been advised by lawyers that he will be barred from the United States under the border clampdown on travellers from seven Muslim nations and all refugees.
But he stopped short of attacking Prime Minister Theresa May's response to the ban.
He told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show: "I don't think I have felt discriminated since little school when the kids were very cruel, as a young boy coming from Iraq of Kurdish origin.
"For the first time in my life last night I felt discriminated against, it's demeaning, it's sad."
The Prime Minister refused to criticise President Trump when pressed by reporters on the ban, insisting it was up to America to devise its own policy.
But amid a growing backlash, Downing Street issued a midnight statement saying Mrs May did not agree with the move and would make representations to the US if it hit Britons.
Mr Zahawi told the programme: "I think my prime minister, quite rightly, was being cautious. It was a developing story.
"I think her being careful is a good thing, but she was also very candid with President Trump."
He added: "I am reassured by my prime minister, Theresa May's statement, because quite clearly says she disagrees with this."
But he warned that "anyone who turns the other way" was an appeaser.
"I don't think we should look away when President Trump makes a mistake," he added.
Mr Zahawi called for President Trump to "think again" about the "hugely discriminatory" policy.
