Meanwhile, on the other side of the Pennines:
The Labour Party is sticking with a parliamentary candidate who claimed that Israel deliberately allowed the Hamas terror attacks of October 7 to happen to give it “the green light” to invade Gaza.
Azhar Ali, who will defend Labour’s 10,000 majority in the Rochdale by-election at the end of this month, was forced into a grovelling apology after it was reported that he was recorded telling a local Labour party meeting that Israel had chosen to remove its border guards after being given advance warning of the attack, in which 1,400 people were killed.
I wonder if Labour's candidate in Rochdale also claims that girls in his town deliberately allowed themselves to be groomed, drugged and gang raped by grooming gangs? https://t.co/hYFDZiMZ22
