There's been considerable effort on social media to portray @kimleadbeater as much put upon by extremists. The centre left has rallied strongly round her.

@ZacGoldsmith's appeal to Indian voters when running against @SadiqKhan in 2016 is widely perceived to have been a mistake.
In #BatleyAndSpen Labour now seem to be trying their own variant on the same approach.
The dirtiest British constituency campaign I can recall is Salma Yaqoob v Naz Shah in Bradford West in 2017.

The #BatleyAndSpenByelection is running it pretty close.
