Azhar Ali, a suspended Labour Parliamentary candidate in Rochdale, was seen lunching with the Labour group at Lancashire County Council. Despite public distancing, private interactions suggest ongoing support from Labour members.
Your antisemitic Rochdale candidate is still welcome in the @UKLabour fold it seems. ‘Withdrawal of support’ just a facade. Lunch with the group yesterday, Labour councillors still canvassing for him, and his register updated after ‘withdrawal’ still clear he’s a Labour member. https://t.co/P7hacF9xVQ
Great story by @tomhfh tonight. Labour is publicly very eager to distance itself from disgraced Rochdale candidate Azhar Ali. But in private it's a different matter... https://t.co/ybcLmKjsJi
Oh look - @UKLabour hasn’t changed. He’ll be back in the fold if he’s elected. https://t.co/SlR0sXyJZu
EXCL: GB News can reveal that suspended Labour Parliamentary candidate Azhar Ali has been lunching with Labour today. @Tomhfh believes this raises questions of how serious the Labour Party are about their suspension. https://t.co/UR9dqiVPSO
Azhar Ali may well have been disowned as a Labour candidate in Rochdale, but here he is lunching with the Labour group at today’s Lancashire County Council budget meeting. The lady next to him is Lorraine Beavers, Labour parliamentary candidate for Blackpool North & Fleetwood. https://t.co/5XG8H8RGV0
