Independent candidate Tiger Patel has stepped down from the Blackburn parliamentary race and has endorsed Craig Murray, the Workers Party candidate. Patel, a popular independent councillor who left the Conservative Party over Gaza, is urging his supporters to back Murray. This development leaves two rival pro-Gaza candidates in the race, with mounting pressure for one to stand down. Patel's decision has given a significant boost to Murray's campaign, who is a former British diplomat and human rights activist. Patel has also requested Adnan Hussain to join forces to defeat the Labour Party.
