Azhar Ali

Labour 'shambolic' over Azhar Ali row, says antisemitism report author Martin Forde. The storm over Rochdale byelection candidate raises new questions over 'disparity in treatment' of Labour MPs.

The controversy surrounding Azhar Ali, a candidate in the Rochdale byelection, has exposed the Labour party's handling of the situation as "shambolic," according to Martin Forde, the author of an antisemitism report. The incident has once again raised concerns about the unequal treatment of Labour MPs.

Azhar Ali's involvement in the row has sparked a heated debate within the party and has drawn attention to the issue of antisemitism. Forde's report highlights the need for better protocols and procedures within the Labour party to address such controversies and ensure fair treatment of all members.
