Labour swiftly condemned a source's racist comment suggesting West Midlands mayor Andy Street could win due to Middle East, not West Midlands, calling Hamas villains.
MPs denounced the remarks as vile racism, emphasizing the need to expel the individual, to prevent alienating Muslim supporters and displaying strong condemnation of bigotry.
Labour's deputy national campaign coordinator underscored the comment's racist undertones, clarifying it did not align with Labour values, emphasizing it was not representative of the party.
Despite Conservative losses, Labour's victories in areas like Blackpool and Hartlepool juxtapose unease over the outcome of the London and West Midlands mayoral elections.
