Labour's Wes Streeting was facing a furious backlash over an attack on Susan Hall on the eve of the London mayoral election.
The shadow health secretary took to social media platform X to claim a vote for the Tory candidate would be a "win for racists, white supremacists and Islamophobes the world over".

Ex-prime minister Liz Truss said: "This is disgusting from Wes Streeting. If this is the future of the Labour Party, they are in deep trouble."
Former home secretary Suella Braverman said London "deserves better than this sort of casual hate".
Tory deputy chairman Jonathan Gullis added: "Labour was served with an unlawful act notice by the EHRC after it found Labour responsible for unlawful acts of harassment & discrimination (antisemitism).
"Labour, which you served as an MP for under Jeremy Corbyn, breached the Equality Act (2010) three times. We won’t forget!"
Veterans minister Johnny Mercer: "I would like you to go out tomorrow and vote Conservative in Plymouth. If you want to vote Labour I disagree with you, but respect your different view. I am neither racist nor a white supremacist.
"This is too far. Wes has had a tough week but he should retract this."

Ex-Brexit minister Lord Frost questioned whether Mr Streeting was "feeling rattled".
He added: "A reminder that even so-called moderates in Labour see racism everywhere and are obsessed with identity politics.
"Get out and vote on Thursday for Susan Hall and help put this kind of politics in the dustbin where it belongs."
A spokesman for Ms Hall's campaign said: "Insulting Londoners who are understandably worried about the epidemic of crime on our streets, the devastating impact of the Ulez expansion and Sadiq's proposals for a pay-per-mile scheme shows just how out of touch Sadiq Khan is.
