Faiza Shaheen: Labour blocks another left-winger from election
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- On Wednesday, Chingford and Woodford Green candidate Faiza Shaheen was told she would no longer be a Labour candidate.
What does this say about Keir Starmer? And for socialists' position in the Labour party?

I used to live in Chingford and late parents used to know Tebbit. IDS was his election agent. I am amazed that Faiza has got the majority down so low in a natural Tory seat on the edge of Epping Forest. It is by sheer hard work and personality. She should not be robbed of standing for Labour this time now able to win, probably by miles.
It's shifting Labour because of high rental and remote working in London pushing out younger voters into the suburbs so it will become a safe Labour seat purely by demographics
quote
London's suburbs are being placed under a huge amount of strain as an increasing number of families move out of the capital.
and
High house prices and the rise of flexible working have resulted in a growing number of Londoners leaving the city for pastures new.
New data shows record numbers of Londoners are buying homes elsewhere, with Surrey, Hertfordshire and Kent the most popular locations.
It’s nothing to do with her, it’s the RUBBISH labour council moving countless numbers of low life into the area.
If your parents came back to Chingford they would not recognise it.
Seeing a politician genuinely dejected because they can't deliver change is so hard to see. After years of money grabbing lobbyists being our country's representation I wish we could have the more genuine folk like her. I hope she finds her place in politics. She's left a very good impression
SO true.
More like missed out on the MP gravy train 😂
Of all the politicians to accuse of this! She's been campaigning hard for years in a constituency that she grew up in! Its the NEC hand-picked candidates who get parachuted in who can be accused of this. Not grassroots activists like Fazia. @@huwdavies-tallon3305
She needs to run independent
Anyone who has an sympathy for faiza should remember how she came to power. It was a corrupt exodus to get our highly successful previous labour candidate Bilal Mahmood out by undiversifying the pool of candidates by demanding that only BAME women were allowed to stand. In the previous 2 elections he had gained a 6% and then a 15% increase in labour voters, only losing to IDS in 2016 by a couple thousand votes. Bilal as a man was disallowed from running again and was merely a power play by the far left of Labour to get their own candidate in. Yet the same people who criticise Labour for removing faiza, regardless of whether they think the reasoning behind her candidacy rejection was justified, seem to forget that the only reason she had a job was due to corrupt corbynites undermining a successful candidate who hadn't put a foot wrong. Coming from a young voter in the constituency of Chingford and and Woodford Green
this woman's removal is frankly terrifying.
what is it that starmer plans that he fears her causing problems? i can only assume its extremely shady stuff, particularly with all his loyalists he's put in place

After the callous, cowardly, illegal way that Dr Fazia Shaheen was treated, we in Chingford BEG her to stand as an Independent so we can all vote for her come 4th July.
When Sir Keir/ NEC discarded Fazia, in actual fact they are discarding us and the CHOICE we made through vote - in 2018 and 2022.
We were volunteers - hundreds of us - in 2019. We saw how effective Fazia was at the doorstep with her fierce intelligence, her solid knowledge of local issues, her empathy, her warmth.
Fazia was also courageous (consistent) when she chose to stand for Chingford, the seat where she lived (lives) and grew up...
She would have been aware that the odds were HUGE: Chingford had been sort of "hijacked" by the mediocre IDS for decades and by the "nice' man IDS had replaced: Norman Tebbit.
Huge odds or nor, Fazia chose this Tory Chingford/ Woodford Green seat and through relentless, passionate work day after day after day (I witnessed it, being a volunteer) nearly ousted IDS in December 2019, short of 1,262 votes.
After Dr Shaheen' s deselection on Wednesday 29 May, "Sir" Iain must be smiling from ear to ear, relieved and looking forward to winning by a great deal more than just 1,262 votes!
Dr Shaheen must run as an Independent. Our CHOICE - in 2018 and in 2022 - must be honoured and she must represent us, rather than some female Brent councillor we don't know or voted for in proper 'trigger ballots' carried out in 2022. This woman - whoever she may be - was parachuted and IMPOSED on us forcefully by Sir Keir and his clique at the NEC. This is NOT accepable.
Dr Shaheen must stand as an Independent and finish what we in Chingford started in 2019. Period.
Who are you representing?? You consistently say "we" without referencing who "we" is other than volunteers? Are you their spokesperson?
I have no connection to any part of UK politics (thank god) but I am interested.

After experiencing the same treatment and having had similar feelings I fully support you Faiza. I was only a minor officer and had been a member for 50 years. I felt so hurt and abused. My solace was that I hadn`t done anything wrong and that I was in company with so many others. I cried for days at the injustice of it all and the way my appeal was just blocked. They didn`t even acknowledge my registered post. I guess it just went in the bin.
She's been slapped by the dross of what was the labour party. Go Independent. Or be questioned 'why follow a genocider' you are that party.

The fact the interviewer has to ask her about other socialists in the party, and that she was told off for talking about corporate greed in the Labour Party shows just how far from any semblance of a party that represents the working class it has drifted.

Labour is a Thatcherite party committed to gaza genocide, low wages, corporate greed and fascist control.
Or just that some people cannot be trusted to execute an election strategy without being totally self-destructive?
The British public are not going to vote for an especially left wing option. The only hope the UK has of implementing any progressive policies is to hitch them to a centre-left Labour party.
For some though, that not enough and they are apparently more than happy to go with an all-or-nothing attitude (and as such, deliver nothing because they will never get the votes to win).
Of course the Tories are free of corporate lobbyists. Famously straight arrow bunch.

As someone from Scotland, with some falling standards from the SNP and looking for an alternative, this just cements it in place for me that Labour, under Keir Stamer will never be a party I can trust. All of his policies reak of David Cameron and this is the final straw. Id trust a shaky SNP over a labour whos forgotten who the stand for.

Shame on you Keir!

this is a example of your labour!!!!????
Labour Party is not a nice place to be in, my wife found that out with death threat from ex councillor Jim Crabtree, being assaulted by another councillor in a meeting then senior Wirral cllrs choose to say thy seen nothing, then loads of made up documents saying she stole money from a charity nothing was stolen after police investigation.
The Merseyside police wouldn’t investigate the people who made false documents to do with the investigation, then Wirral cllr made a kangaroo court blaming my wife for bullying the same people who said she stole money who had keys to the charities office nd when the documents where changed my wife had had a heart attack and was in hospital 🤷🏼♂️,
The icing on cake she was named in frank fields resignation letter who was an absolute bully, then was suspended in 2022 when she was in intensive and final kicked out the party in 2023or early 24. But since she stopped being in the Labour Party health is 100% better 👍🏻

@dondoodatWHAT ANTISEMITISM
Of course there’s something else at play, there has been since Jeremy Corbyn left as leader of the Labour Party, which is a purging of the of the left and anyone who’s a socialist or had ties to Corbyn. The trouble is not so long ago Faiza was happy to throw genuine socialists and fellow MP’s like Chris Williamson under the bus, so it’s hard to have sympathy for her. Why also would she want to be involved with a party that are supporting the abhorrent crimes in Gaza?……Also why support Starmer who’s exposed himself as being a pathological liar and a two faced snake?…..Said he was good friends with Corbyn, then he wasn’t, supported a list of pledges but then backtracked on every single one. Labour isn’t a party of the left and doesn’t represent any form of socialism whatsoever. The choice at the ballot box next month is Tory or Tory lite, if you want to vote for a left wing party you’re better off voting Green or Independent if you have a good candidate.
@dondoodat She liked a video by John Stewart, a Jewish comedian, like seriously.
Shd didnt. Thats a lie. They are happy to support paid lobbyists for a genocide supporting apartheid state though.@dondoodat
Nothing she said was anti-Semitic. Israel cannot and does not represent all Jewish people. Like any powerful western government, Israel has lobbying groups in allied countries. This isn't unusual or weird. If people refer to an Israel lobby they are, unless there's other reasons to suspect them, making a factual statement. It's as simple as that. Labour Friends of Israel is a very active group with plenty of Labour MPs signed up to it. The idea that their active subscription to a group that openly and actively supports Israel is totally irrelevant to their stance on Israel is moronic and borders on gaslighting. "Yes we like and support this country. Yes we are part of professional organisations that exist to push for that nation. But you're not allowed to ever suggest that that's actually the case. Because... it's anti-Semitism!"
Spot on.

Well the Arabs and the palestinians are classified as semitic people as well. . It's not only about Israel as if they have a God-given right to being the only semitic people in the middle east.
Exactly. This feels like a horror shows where no one is allowed to ever utter anything against israel like they can do no wrong. It's a thing from movies
The fact is these Labour and Conservative friends of Israel groups are now a hotbed of extremism. Suella Braverman and Israel's new spokesman the former Labour Friends of Israel member David Mencer are cases in point. Margaret Hodge is another. No-one can even mention the Palestinian people without their wrath coming down on you. This is where this extremism comes from. Try watching GB News or Talk TV. They will do anything to goad the Palestinian supporters. They've accused so many people of antisemitism that it is now a weapon to beat anyone who sees the wrong in Israel's actions. The reality is many countries are turning away from The UK and American stance. When this is over we and America will be pariah's as will Germany, Canada and Australia who've allowed too many Zionists to infiltrate their societies.
A decent person, who has been treated terribly by despicable people.
Hearing Faiza so articulately speak in interviews and given her area of expertise, she should be at the top of the Labour party not thrown aside! Disgraceful from Labour. One of the reasons I've quit the party is this callous behaviour. I hope she does well in whatever life brings her next.
Faiza must stand as an independent ..

I'm voting Green or Lib Dems over this nonsense. Kier is preventing freedom-of-speach in a party which is supposed to advocate it.
The Lib Dems went NeoConservative before they joi8ned the Cons in 2010.. because they started accepting Corporate Finance (Lobbying). Now Labour has done the same.
The Greens are now the only party that refuses to accept Corporate Lobbying... so they're now the "Partty to hate" according to all our Corporate Media (which is now cheering for Starmer).
This is what worries me about Labour.. I don’t want the Tories in power but I’m struggling to see any difference between the Tories and Labour now.. Labour have been acting in a very shady manner.. Forcing people I like out of the party and purging the left. Then welcoming far right politicians in.. They cannot be trusted.. They do not represent the true values of Labour what so ever.. In my constituency I have to vote Labour as it’s a massive Tory majority here.. But il be doing so begrudgingly and in the hope that things possibly change from being quite so toxic once they are in power.. Which I doubt..

Unless we get lobbyists out of our government we will never have a democracy which represents the needs of the working class voters.

Not as a party necessarily, but as independents who are trying to highlight what is wrong with politics and how we can work together to reform it.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Labour really shooting themselves in the foot on this. An intelligent, articulate, principled woman that is embedded in her community and would be a massive asset for a Labour government. Madness.
Not this Labour government I’m afraid. Careerists only.
Articulate? Really?
Faiza you had my vote last time, and if you go independent I'll support you again, go for it sis.
I didn't know she can't, Starmer what a tw*t.
My heart goes out to Faiza, who has done nothing wrong, and certainly nothing to justify her last-minute deselection as an electoral candidate for Labour. She is a stonkingly good candidate and the reasons for her deselection had everything to do with factionalism, racism and Islamophobia, and nothing to do with any lack of ability or integrity on her part.
But perhaps in the long term this may turn out to be a better situation for her, bitter though her disappointment must be for her. Labour is no longer a 'Broad Church.' Under Starmer Labour has become a centre-right party, not a progressive party.
Both before and especailly since the brief period under Corbyn's leadership, there has been a concerted effort to turn Labour into a centre-right party, a push coming both from within the more right-wing factions of Labour, and from various vested commercial interests outside the party.
This push is for the party to both accept and to embrace the Neoliberal (Free Market Capitalist) economic system which every government since Thatcher has followed seemingy wihout question.
This effort has meant that the left within Labour needed to be either squeezed out, or encouraged to leave, or sidelined, demoted or deselected.
This process has been ruthless, unfair, cruel and blatantly factional. The 'genius' (according to the instigators) of this plan is that the British electorate remain almost universally unaware of what's really going on.
Faiza is a victim of this relentless push to ensure that the UK remains a Neoliberal economy. As a more progressive candidate, she was always going to do her best to combat Neoliberalism, and the ever rising levels of inequality and poverty which result in adhering to the Neoliberal agenda.
If Faiza did decide to run as an independent candidate, I suspect she'd get a lot of support from her local community. But I can understand that this could be a daunting prospect, without the support and backing of a major political party.
I wonder if it's only a matter of time before the likes of John McDonnell, RLB, Barry Gardiner, Dawn Butler, Clive Lewis and Zarah Sultana are also expelled or deselected.
In Faiza's position I would seriously consider joining the Green Party, regardless of her decision.
It's so sad what's happened to all the people who fought so hard under the real Labour Party. I have voted Labour all my life but will be voting independent this election.

No it isn’t.
Nobody cares, Nobody counts your vote
Support ' we deserve better' if you can . They are raising funding for decent independents like Faiza.
I mean I wasn’t voting Labour anyway after Starmer broke every pledge and outed himself as a right-wing authoritarian, they are a disgrace.
She must stand as an independent socialist
Zara Sultana is next…….
hope not, but then again, Sultana would be great as an independent. Its not as if Starmer's party s going to be influenced by its own left ...
Remarkable she has lasted this long
@@haomingongindeed. This is why it is a wasted vote to vote for a Labour candidate, even if they are decent. They will be powerless.
They would be fools to do so. She has a massive following online and is especially popular with younger voters. It would lose them several constituencies. But that's not to say they wouldn't try at some point, but I think they'd go for softer targets first.
I as a70yr old Brit socialist, am Angry, I grew up believing, That as, a citizen of a Nation, who was born and bred, by and for that, Nations Benefit, I earned the title Citizen once I joined, the Tax paying public, I was ever told as a young man back in the 70's you haven't earned enough tax credits, you can't get State relief, I excepted that , But NOW this is just billionaires, wanting us under their RULE,
They are terrified of you. You would be more powerful as an independent.
Unfortunately not. Parliamentary democracy is about groups and cooperation, not independent voices. She was binned because they don't fear any consequences, they're smoothing the path.

I find it absolutely disgusting what they have done I left the labour party when they got rid of Jeremy Corbyn I will never ever work for labour again I do condemn them for they are doing
Corbyn should of accepted the result of the Referendum. He was anti EU all his political life just like his hero Tony Benn. He became leader suddenly flipped flopped and crashed in the Old Labour Leave seats.
They are just getting rid of the people that are anti Jewish. The whole party was unelectable and was racist against Jews. So candidates like her that said if you murder a Jew because they are Jewish it isnt antisemitism, need to go. The whole debarcle against Abbott started because she said being attacked for being Jewish is no different from being attacked for being ginger. So no. Diane took back what she said. Faiza did not

Some Starmer supporters don't seem to like it if you politely and respectfully disagree with them in RUclips's comments section. I've found that some of them get rather aggressive and use insults and capital letters - like Trump supporters. I'm not sure if that is representative of Starmer supporters in general or if they are just random thugs looking for a cause? Corbyn / Momentum supporters used to get flak for being crazies, but I don't remember them being aggressive like that. My local Labour MP has also just been replaced by a non local parachuted candidate from head office. I will be voting Green as this replacement is not local and I don't know who they are. Also, I want proportional representation, and my understanding is that Starmer won't allow it even though his party members do. I also don't like this purging business and have concerns over Starmer's moral consistency.
Yep.
"We all know Corbynistas are loonies because every Tory-controlled newspaper tells us so".
Whereas, in fact, the mass of people whop were inspired to join Momentum when Corbyn was elected Leader were there because - finally, after 40 years of "NeoLiberal" insanity (Tories), someone was offering poliies which made things better and treated both the public and the country well rather than destroying them.
In reality, the "Corbynistas" were/are very much 'ordinary' people who wanted/want the country to work on very comonsense terms.
That the notion of building, rather than destroying, a Nation has been labelled "Extremist" just shows how psychopathic the forces are that have been running the country since 1979.

What is the problem with liking a tweet/video clip that talks about Israeli lobby?
Books have been written about it.
The shutting down of anything anti Israel is getting ridiculous.
Ironically, most books written about it, and most commentators highlighting it are Jewish.
I guess msm stating this does fit the narrative they are creating though.
Why the shock!? - How cant these people see what has been happening for the last 6 years!?? i.e. Forde Report
The "Labour files" were the biggest leak in UK political history.
More documents were leaked, then ever before, showing antisemitism wasn't a big problem, but racism towards blacks and Muslims was.
The documents are available for all to see, yet the main stream media didn't report the facts.
No politician within the Labour party reported the facts.
And even more surprising ( not really), the Conservatives didn't even mention the document leaks, them being published, or their finding.
It was radio silence, and still is, to this day.
What this shows is a Union between Labour ( now a right wing party), the Tories( right wing), and our entire main stream media, that's owned in it's entirety by right wing, non tax paying billionaires.
They silence the truth, and report lies as fact.
People still believe Jeremy is racist ffs.

What the new labour centrists do in labour's good name should always be called out. Its exaclty this behaviour that have allowed us all to tippy toe away from our core values toward those other sorts of values none of us wanted.
She supports and likes antisemitic posts on X. This is just a anti racism clean up.
If only they were centrists, they seem at least as right wing as Sunak’s Tories
This is the exact frustration we have with the Democrats in the States. We want progressive candidates, not centrists.
I resigned for Labour after Starmer sacked Rebecca Long Bailey from his shadow cabinet on spurious grounds in 2020 and many genuine Socialists quit the party or have been purged since that period. Traditional Labour supporters see the party a right wing neoliberal party and won’t vote for them, the Independents and the Greens will get their votes. Stand as an Independent Candidate !
Absolutely¬!
Any party which accepts funding from the same financial organisations as fund the Tories will have the same policies.
Same with the LibDems in 2000... and, of course, all the Rightwing Parties set up BY Corporate money.
To date, the only Party NOT acepting Corporate funding is the Greens... so they'll have to be sabotaged too.
Watch the Press as this happens.
I think Faiza would have been a viable leadership challenger to Keir and was deselected because of it
Starmer is throwing this away. He's trying to get the tory vote but is losing the core voters like myself. Im thinking more and more of the lib dems
Well obswerved.
That's because the same thing has happened to both parties.
Each acepted funding from the same financial institutions as fund the Tories.
He who pays the piper etc.
The only party NOT accepting corporate donations now is the Greens... which makes them 'dangerous'.
Faiza is spot on in saying she'll rock the boat, and that's why she's been blocked. Starmer fears anyone who has the potential to inspire people away from his top-down efforts
she's brown and nice. not the combination required for UK politics these days.
This is evidence that nothing will actually change under a new Labour government. Starmer doesn't need candidates who have links to local neighbourhoods, who represent people they actually know, who understand the needs of their communities. He needs party functionaries who will not move away from the authodoxy or question his authority. More of the same then...he might as well select Ian Duncan bloody Smith!
Which means I was correct in saying Starmer would continue with tory policies.
Labour Tory no difference. Vote reform fella 👍
Nah, I'd rather vote Conservative than Reform.
Blairite career politicians have clearly slowed your mind and deadened your sense of truth over the years. Reform the only opposition.
Keir starmer is taking advice from Peter maddison Alistair Campbell and Tony Blair
There will be a fair few Liebour candidates who wont be working so hard if they're thinking 'it may be me next'.
Faiza should run as an independent. She should also take the Labour Party and Kieth to court. Will never ever vote Labour, utterly disgraceful party.
We are with you
but a few years back she said if you kill a jew for being Jewish it isnt antisemitic and then never took it back
Go Faiza. You are a stong intelligent compassionate person of the sort we need in our government. Take care you are a survivor.
You’re absolutely deluded.
@@jerrywarren6959how so?
A few years back she said that if you kill a Jew because they are Jewish it isnt antisemitic. That is both racist and against the definition of antisemitism. It is not a purge of the left. Its a purge of the anti Jewish that wont correct themselves
She supports and likes antisemitic posts on X. This is just a anti racism clean up.
she going,,,,,,,,,, OUT THE DOOR,,,,,,,,, TARRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The people of her constituency want her. They elected her. This just shows how much the Labour Party cares about ordinary people and democracy.
AS A LIFLONG LABOUR VOTER, I WONT BE VOTING LABOUR IN THIS ELECTION CYCLE... THANKS KIER FOR SPOILING MY BALLOT...
I have lost all faith ins Labour. The treatment of Faiza Shaheen is deplorable.
We need PR and for Labour socialists and centrists to form their own parties.
Unless you’re an independent or a non-corporate party member you ain’t “left.” Get out while you can save face.
It's about time for a new socialist party that is a straight replacement for Starmer's mess.
There are enough ex-Labour politicians knocking about who are angry enough to go along with it, I suspect.
The problem is The left is also factionalised. Labour is right wing party now
People, almost invariably on the left (self-defined) have been saying this since the Labour Party was founded in 1900.
The Labour Party is sill here. Where are they?
Go for it. You'll win 0 seats. Britain is a centrist country. Starmer will win because he's a centrist, Corbyn lost twice because Britain doesn't want a left wing government. That is the truth.
Labour is losing the plot at this point. Starmer is not the leader this party needed.
So you prefer some one more left wing who will be unpopular in the next election. Like Cornyn ?
Same way they treated Dian Abbott, l dont trust that Angel Rainier ether
In order to stop a backbench rebellion Keir starmer is kicking out all the socialis and left ring members of his party
I'm trying to get clear on what she did "wrong". Opposing Israeli policy?
Thank you so much for this video. It was very beneficial. Keep up the Great Work! Much appreciated!
How sad. I worry too. Wealth inequality seems behind every other issue she cares about, we care about. In the states, the democratic party pushed out a superb person named Jamaal Bowman. He co-sponsors a bill to tax wealth called the OLIGARCH Act. You have a Patriotic Millionaires UK. And Gary Stevenson.
Should stand for the greens and lose her deposit
Any members, councillors etc went through exactly the same thing up and down the country.
Labour isn't Labour anymore... The Workers Party of GB will win more seats due to the Labour Party's inability to represent the people.
She is unlikely to stand under own steam.
all the partys wil do the same
A solution is for everyone to persuade as many people as possible to vote but not for a political party but for an independant or vote Green which will do more good than harm. What about a Screaming Lord Sutch?
No sympathy for her she ousted a very good candidate in Bilal Mamhood who gained 15% on the conservatives in 2017. He did all the hard work.
wow you can tell how personally she has been crushed for what the party has done to her. its so hard to watch a sincere person like this who generally wants to do good be ....crushed by the Labour Party. although I didn't like/appreciate at the height of the non-existent antisemitic crisis Faiza herself was on BBÇ's Politics Live saying "there is an antisemitism crisis but we're dealing with it unlike the Conservatives with their Islamaphobia problem", her work alone advocating against the rigged system, tackling institutional racism against black people and all other marginalized groups and early support for the Corbyn project she's worthy of support. if not too devastated may she run as an independent and like Corbyn may she win.
I do not get it, blaming a Jewish person for Israeli government actions is called antisemitic, but criticizing Israel is also called antisemitic because it endangering every Jewish person safety! Which one it is then?
She's been a good constituency MP and I think Labours move will backfire here, she's popular. It's also not a great look that the loyal MPs Labour have tried to purge are a black woman, a muslim woman and a gay man, by contrast the Tory front benches have been and currently are much more diverse.
She supports and likes antisemitic posts on X. This is just a anti racism clean up.
You see what you want to see.. the tory front bench are all carbon copies of eachother. Like the old saying goes, never judge a tory by its cover.
Labour is the party of change Labour into the tory Party.
She has a PhD, but she’s not the sharpest tool in the box. She is self-serving and only thinks of her own interests. The Forde Report was written five years ago, yet she stayed with Labour while her black and Muslim colleagues were sidelined. She didn't leave then, but now that she has been dismissed, it’s a different story.
Diane Abbott ?
I don't agree with Faiza's politics, or indeed I was not happy about certain events that occurred in the past, but to give it to her, she did work hard for position and she is cleaver. I hope this is not the end for politics for her.
Great interview by the way.
we don't want any anti semitism in the Labour Party. so faiza should stand as independent.
i like how we only see faiza in the video, it makes it completely about her, which what this moment is for.
Electoral reform would allow more diversity of political parties. It's obvious there should be a progressive left-wing party in this country. In a country with proportional representation that's what would happen.
Advanced strategy: If you want to stand for a political party, its probably best not to publicly post negative things about them. Crazy huh.
Love the "Know Your Place" book in the background 😂
IDS's Universal Credit caused so much damage. Put aside the fact it was meant to cost less than £5b to setup but ended up costing more than £12b before they stopped reporting it. The number of people that died and suffered under the change, still ongoing delays and errors was MASSIVE and they never released the report.
You can see how that hurt Faiza with the loss of her mother. Hopefully she will run as an independent.
Still not quite as insane as US politics, but damn this “Labour party” sounds shit
I don't want the Tories in again, but I just can't vote for Labour this time. Starmer is indeed purging the left. Blue Labour born again. It's so sad.
Keir Starmer is the pits. He'll make a dreadful PM. I really feel bad for Faiza xx
