Shadow cabinet member Jonathan Ashworth lost his seat by fewer than 1,000 votes.

He was tipped for a major role in Sir Keir Starmer ’s government.

Mr Ashworth 's campaign focused on events in Gaza and Labour 's reluctance to demand a ceasefire.

An occasional campaign volunteer for Mr Adam , Amaar Suliman , also ran against Ashworth as the candidate for the Official Monster Raving Loony Party under the name Mr Ezechiel Adlore .

Mr Suliman spent almost 2,000 producing and distributing thousands of leaflets across the constituency.

Labour Party has asked police to look into allegations that Mr Adam held events where free food was provided to dozens of voters.

It is strictly against electoral law to provide “directly or indirectly.

. any food, drink or entertainment or provision to corruptly influence any vote to vote or refrain from voting”.
