Lisa Nandy, Shadow International Development Minister, has been at the center of controversy regarding her stance on antisemitism and Labour's handling of related issues. Nandy stated she resigned from the shadow cabinet in 2016 to speak out on antisemitism, though her resignation letter did not mention it. She has been vocal about the Labour Party's concerns, urging the government to address these issues in the House of Commons (HOC). Additionally, Nandy has been involved in debates around the Labour Party's actions in a recent by-election in Rochdale, where Labour withdrew their candidate due to antisemitic remarks. She denied that the party threatened the Speaker of the House, Lindsay Hoyle, to allow a vote on their amendment in the Gaza ceasefire vote, amidst allegations of pressure on Hoyle concerning party amendments and MPs' safety. Criticism has also come from Chris Clarkson MP, who highlighted Nandy's campaign event for the then-candidate after the story of his remarks broke. Furthermore, Nandy mentioned that many MPs have expressed concerns about their safety to the Speaker in recent weeks. Allegations have also surfaced suggesting Nandy might have threatened Lindsay Hoyle over party amendments.
Labour liars. Nandy probably told Lyndsey Hoyle that they'd break him as a man, if he didn't back their amendment. She has a history of that sort of behaviour. #LabourFriendsOfGenocide https://t.co/c3T5rA0ieC

Lisa Nandy says she stepped down from shadow cabinet to speak out on antisemitism. Her 2016 resignation letter doesn't mention antisemitism. She says she's seen Corbyn "handle the numerous personal attacks that have been made towards you with great dignity" #BBCLauraK https://t.co/rqoSSkRWw1
