Nazir Afzal warns against weaponizing police forces for political campaigns, calls for complaints during elections to be handled differently to prevent frivolous accusations for wasting police time.
Labour condemned the complaints against their candidate Richard Parker as political game-playing, accusing Conservatives of using police complaints as a habit in the lead-up to elections.
Conservatives reported Labour candidates to police multiple times before elections, including allegations against Angela Rayner, sparking controversy about their motives.
Nazir Afzal calls for treating elections like big sport events, advocating for a different approach in handling complaints to avoid undue police involvement.
