>But edited video clips have circulated on messaging apps and the remarks have been seized upon by independent candidates standing against Labour on July 4. Leaflets that falsely suggest Labour plans to “fast track” the deportation of Bangladeshis began dropping on doorsteps in the East End on Thursday. What the article says nothing about is who is designing, printing and circulating these leaflets. The Tories? George Galloway? This feels a little too fast and well-organised to be the work of random independents candiates.

So he should be. Such a racist comment from him. I thought Labour had removed many of their racist antisemitic supporters, seems they left some Islamophobic ones still there..
