@thetimes: How did mosques secretly endorse the Green Party? Mosques have secretly endorsed Green Party candidates despite charity rules forbidding it, the party’s campaign co-ordinator has claimed. Asma Alam, who was involved in the by-election campaign in which Hannah Spencer was elected MP for Gorton & Denton, claimed that mosques had gone “under cover” to support her candidate. They were so disappointed with Labour they were willing to break rules, she said. Mosques that are registered charities are subject to restrictions on political campaigning and must remain politically impartial. The Charity Commission confirmed it was assessing a complaint about Alam’s claims, which were made at a fringe meeting at the Green Party conference. A Green Party spokesperson said: “Councillor Alam’s comments were anecdotal and neither she nor the Green Party have ever sought or facilitated any breach of the law. In referring conversationally to ‘under cover’ support, she was talking about individuals choosing to express personal political support, not formal endorsements. We are not aware of any mosque formally endorsing the Green Party.” #politicstiktok #ukpolitics #greenparty #election #uknews
