Labour accuses Tories of smearing candidate Bayo Alaba over D-Day fundraiser participation. Alaba, a Labour candidate for Southend East and Rochford, took part in a parachute jump to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, raising money for the Royal British Legion. Tory councillor Daniel Nelson criticised Alaba's involvement, leading to accusations of smearing from Labour's Deputy Leader Angela Rayner.
