<p>Islam, political editor at Sky News, posted a message on Twitter on Monday saying that people had been calling out saying he was “not British” and “a rapist” while he was working.</p>
<p>He started by tweeting: <em>“Breaking: On @skynews now: if PM does not announce a date for meaningful vote Today Corbyn will announce no confidence vote IN PM.”</em></p>
<p>He then followed it up by saying: <em>“Whilst reporting that some pro Brexit campaigners in yellow jackets were shouting misogynist stuff at Kay and that I was “not British” and “a rapist” … well done all who helped create this situation.</em></p>
<p><em>“Good job.”</em></p>
<p>Islam’s Sky colleague Kay Burley retweeted his message, and said: “Their mothers must be so proud.”</p>
<p>Burley said she had also faced some insults.</p>
<p>The presenter, who turned 58 today, shared a photograph of a man and said: <em>“This charmer repeatedly screamed I was a slag during my program today.”</em></p>
<p><em>“I prefer Birthday Girl,”</em> she added.</p>
