A series of incidents involving Labour Party canvassers using racial slurs while campaigning in the West Midlands have sparked controversy and calls for action. The incidents, which occurred on May 2nd, were captured on doorbell cameras where Labour canvassers were heard referring to voters who supported independent candidate Akhmed Yakoob as 'f***ing Pakis'. The abusive language has led to widespread condemnation and has prompted an investigation into the individuals involved, one of whom is reportedly a secondary school teacher. This has raised concerns about the impact of such behavior on community relations and the integrity of the Labour Party's campaigning practices.

The alleged employer of the woman in the video from the West Midlands showing her calling voters f**king P***s have launched an investigation into the incident. We now expect the Labour Party to act and investigate her actions whilst out campaigning for them. #AntiRacist ⤵️ https://t.co/UP3bMki9Av
