A signage written in English and Bengali at a London railway station has come under scrutiny with a UK MP demanding that it “should be in English, and English only”.
Rupert Lowe, the Great Yarmouth MP, took to his official X account and posted a picture of the dual language signboard at the Whitechapel Station.
“This is London – the station name should be in English, and English only,” Mr Lowe, a Reform UK MP for Great Yarmouth, said on Sunday.
His post went viral and also invited a comment from tech billionaire Elon Musk, who owns X.
“Yes,” he responded.

Mr Musk, a close ally of US President Donald Trump, had recently called for Nigel Farage to be replaced as Reform UK leader and had appeared to endorse 67-year-old Lowe.
