A former Labour Mayor of Luton and candidate for Bedfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) has been suspended by the party over alleged antisemitism.
Tahir Khan, a former councillor and management consultant, is understood to be barred from holding office or represent the party while the investigation is ongoing.
He has been approached for comment.
In a statement to Bedford Today, Mr Khan – who until May last year sat on the board of the Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service – refuted the allegations made against him and said he had “submitted a comprehensive appeal against the temporary sanctions imposed on my membership of the Labour Party.”
