I'm confused, who was Labour's candidate?

But Labour was forced to publicly suspend its campaigning for its candidate in the seat, Azhar Ali, after he claimed Israel had “allowed” the Hamas attacks on October 7.

Are we calling people who tell the truth antisemites now? Or did he say anything actually antisemitic?

Azhar Ali.

It was too late to take him off the ballot papers by the time they realised they didn't want him any more, meaning they effectively didn't field a candidate.
