Labour candidate sacked over 'antisemitic social media posts' independent.co.uk

Jeremy Corbyn has faced fresh pressure over the handling of antisemitism complaints
Labour has sacked its general election candidate in Falkirk over allegations she made a series of antisemitic social media posts.

In a blow to the party's hopes north of the border, Labour was forced to remove Safia Ali as its candidate in the Scottish constituency after it was informed of antisemitic posts on an old Facebook page.

It understood that the posts were missed by Labour during the candidate vetting process as they were made on an old account that Ms Ali no longer used.
