Calls for Labour to bar another parliamentary candidate over 'unacceptable' Israel comments
Tuesday, 13 February 2024 There have been calls for another Labour party parliamentary candidate to be barred from standing for election after he allegedly referred to "f***ing Israel" at a meeting of activists.
Shadow Minister Nick Thomas-Symonds says Azhar Ali, who is Labour's candidate in the Rochdale by-election, was “totally wrong” for reportedly claiming Israel had "allowed" the deadly attack by Hamas gunmen on 7 October.

Green Party co-leader Adrian Ramsay claims Labour is "getting it wrong" in "so many areas". He says: "We promised to hold the new Government to account where we think they are off track, where they could and should be doing more, where we think greater ambition is needed to deliver the positive, inspiring change that people urgently want to see".

In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing conflict, Israel launched a deadly airstrike in Beirut, targeting Hezbollah positions after the militant group fired a barrage of missiles into northern Israel. The strike, which occurred on Friday, resulted in the death of a top Hezbollah official and left several others injured. Lebanese health officials reported that at least three people were killed and over 50 wounded in the attack, which hit a building in the Dahiyeh district, a known Hezbollah stronghold. This latest violence follows a week of heightened tensions, including a series of devastating explosions linked to Hezbollah’s communication devices, which have left over 30 dead and thousands injured across Lebanon. As both sides engage in relentless military actions, fears of an all-out war loom large over the region.
