The anti-Semitism dispute bedeviling Britain's Labour Party ahead of an election Thursday has continued with the suspension of a city councilor.
The party said Monday that Nottingham City councilor Ilyas Azis has been suspended pending an investigation.
The move follows the suspension last week of two other Labour figures, including former London Mayor Ken Livingstone, who was on the party's executive council.
