A Labour candidate defeated by a pro-Gaza independent in the general election has called for the new MP to formally disown supporters who she says waged a campaign of “intimidation, abuse and harassment” against her.
Heather Iqbal, who came second in the Dewsbury and Batley constituency to Iqbal Mohamed, who was standing as an independent, called for her opponent to “take action and be explicit” in calling out supporters for their actions.
