Labour's Afzal Khan is under fire amid claims he plans to move to Cyprus to safeguard his parliamentary seat in Jeremy Corbyn's party. The revelation has sparked outrage among constituents in Manchester Gorton, who question whether Khan can effectively represent them while living abroad.
According to sources, Khan has been exploring options to establish residency in Cyprus while continuing to serve as an MP. Critics argue this undermines his connection to the local community and raises serious questions about his dedication to the role.
The controversy comes at a sensitive time for Labour, with party leader Jeremy Corbyn facing increasing scrutiny over candidate selection processes. Political opponents have seized on the story, accusing Khan of putting personal ambition before public service.
Manchester residents expressed dismay at the reports, with one local business owner stating: 'If our MP isn't living among us, how can he possibly understand our daily struggles?'
Khan's office has denied any wrongdoing, insisting he remains fully committed to his Manchester constituency. However, the allegations have reignited debates about MPs' responsibilities to their local communities.
