Labour has been accused of “disgusting” behaviour towards a Palestinian man who lost his family in Gaza, after refusing to reveal what information the party has gathered on him.
Police dragged Dalloul Neder out of a Labour fundraising event attended by the party’s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, in January, after he held up a picture of his late mother and told the audience: “I lost my family in Gaza… I want to show you my mum.”
Neder, who campaigned for Labour in 2019, later submitted a Subject Access Request (SAR) to the party, asking it to disclose any personal information they had collected about him – a legal right for any individual under the UK’s data protection laws.
