Azhar Ali had expressed an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory that Israel allowed the 7 October massacre to happen to give it a “green light” to invade Gaza .
Ali ’s comments made at a Lancashire Labour Party meeting only came to light through a Mail on Sunday exposé.
Ali , an adviser to the last Labour government on anti-extremism, was given preferential treatment.
George Galloway , whose Rochdale candidacy was another factor in the defence of Ali , will exploit the furore for all it is worth.
