Newspaper apologises to MP for ‘racist’ cartoon

• The Observer newspaper issued an apology and removed a cartoon after Zarah Sultana accused it of racism.
• The controversial cartoon depicted Ms Sultana on a raisin box, which she described as 'brownfacing' and mocking her surname.
• Ms Sultana criticised The Observer's apology as 'mealy-mouthed' for not explicitly labelling the cartoon as racist or directly naming her.
• The cartoon also featured Jeremy Corbyn with communist symbols, satirising the new political party he is forming with Ms Sultana.
• Ms Sultana resigned from the Labour Party earlier this month to establish a new political party with Mr Corbyn.
