Solidarity Apsana! It is an absolute sham that this is allowed to happen in the Labour party. The Labour party has become institutionally undemocratic and it feels like we have to look elsewhere for a platform where fantastic people like you can continue to represent the interests of their community at the political level.
This is one of the most shocking and disgraceful episodes in all British political history.
We overuse these terms in politics a lot, but this whole story makes me feel so sick and so angry.
Very glad Novara is covering it.
aye, sadly it's nothing new...
@bina nocht I suppose the unusual thing here is how much complicity the party leadership directly has in the case.
All my solidarity and respect goes out to Apsana! 🌹✊🏻 She shouldn't have been put through this at all, but Labour's complicity and willingness to overlook this clear pattern of targeted abuse in order to accelerate their left-wing purge is inexcusable.
to bad she wasnt a cop who accedentally murdered a guy walking down the street. cus keir would have broke his legs running to her defence
inspiring woman, dont know if i'd have the strength she's shown
Really don't want to support labour at the next GE. Such a sad indictment of politics that the only 2 choices are far right nutters or hypocritical incompetents who don't care. And they are probably going to deselect my MP (Sam Tarry) because of factional warfare. Apsana thanks for sharing, wishing you the best and recovery.
I will never vote Labour again. This is disgusting. Well done Starmer, you’ve messed up big time, you absolute prat!! Apsana, you have my support and I wish you well.
This is so insidious, the lack of safe guarding is so disgusting. Solidarity and I have gratefulness for her speaking up and for Rivkah too.
Centrist blairites who attacked Apsana need to be kicked out. This party is in absolute shambles to have let this happen
I'm just in awe and feel humbled by Apsana's courage. She embodies everything that we need right now
Very telling and eye opening Exclusive from Novara Media 👏🏾 this is why I’m not voting again in any general election not since the last one and then toxic labour supporters on Twitter are gonna tell me I’m part of the problem because I won’t vote labour 🙄 Well I’m not voting Tory but who’s fault is that if you had a better leader that wasn’t so far right on the left or wasnt a mush mouth factionist. Keir Starmer is a terrible leader. I dunno if he will win next election we need the likes of Apsana Begum and Mick Lynch those are the kind of people I would vote for !
Absolute and full solidarity with Apsana. and so much love and respect - so brave to speak out like this 🌹❤
What an amazing and strong person to speak out like this. Please keep fighting when you feel well enough to do so. We need more leaders like you.
One great brave lady she has fought so hard to get where she is now let's people support her and get on with her job
Behaviour of the Labour Party has been disgraceful and shocking but unfortunately it is not surprising. When we have a party which openly supports a racist apartheid state like Israel then we should not expect anything else. The fact that she has had no support from the party is indicative of where they currently are. I have voted labour for over 50 years and will never do so again until the return to their socialist roots.
Labour are dead, I don't think there's any saving them now. The party is corrupt to the core and the final chance we had to change things has come and gone, the huge mistake Corbyn made was not purging the party from Day One. He did the honorable thing and tried to work with the Blairites but there is no honour amongst thieves. We're stuck with the Conservatives or the ever so slightly watered down Conservatives for the rest of our lives now, barring a miracle.
Shocking story. Strong women like Apsana are what this country needs.
Thanks for speaking out Apsana. Very courageous. Shame on Starmer.
what an inspiring person. unfortunately it’s clear that the current leadership would’ve only acknowledged her struggle had she gone beyond contemplation and actually attempted suicide. solidarity with Aspana and all victims of abuse.
Well said Apsana;-) I can't vote for Starmers Labour party, enough is enough
It truly beggars belief that Apsana, a sitting MP, has been signed off work and the leadership office hasn't checked in to offer her a simple wish of 'get well soon'. I truly can't believe this! The party has a duty of care and they've failed this by a fracking country mile. The membership should be outraged that a lawsuit of significant value will be getting paid out here. Power and solidarity, Apsana.
You are such a strong and wonderful woman Apsana, don't let anyone EVER make you believe otherwise. This trial and trauma you have been put through makes my heart cry for you, but you have conducted yourself with dignity, and speaking out is the surest sign of your absolute power and true goodness. Sending all my solidarity to you xxx
I’m so very sorry to learn of that which has happened to Apsana Begum. I had no idea of the sheer extent of her abuse & betrayal. As a mental health professional, her account is horribly familiar to me, although of course each experience is unique to the individual. I’m so heartened to learn that this fine woman has had support and has garnered the strength to lift herself out of this nightmare. Warmest and sincerest wishes to her for justice, happiness and success.
What a terrible shame that those in charge of the Labour Party in Tower Hamlets expended so much time n resources targeting this most unfortunate lady rather than trying to achieve more social housing in the Borough. I wish her all the best n and, may I say, Labour doesn't deserve to have such a decent woman in the party.
If after this gripping interview Sir Keir's office does not reach out we will need an investigation. To search for Starmers soul.
If nothing else, I really thought better of Angela 😢 💔
Solidarity Apsana Begum ♥🌹
I've only watched the first 10 minutes but OMG the way she describes her manipulative ex-husband is EXACTLY the same as my Ex-Boyfriend who I escaped from. I was isolated form my family too, he used to follow me home from work after we broke up, this is so so heartbreaking. Sending love and power and good wishes to you beautiful Apsana Begum.
So sorry that you’ve had this awful experience too… but very glad that you now seem to be well out of that situation. Love, power, and solidarity to anyone going through (or having gone through) such terrible times 💜
The real Labour party ceased to exist when they abandoned their core principles prior to toryblairite's landslide victory for his New-Labour party which achieved power by mirroring the Tories and then carrying on with tory policies after winning an unprecedented historic landslide majority victory, which could have been used to change the British political landscape forever, instead they did things that even Maggie didn't have the balls to do, PFI and tuition fees to name just two, leaving the door wide open for what the tories are doing to us now, after they seen what we allowed our 'own' party do to us, the biggest political betrayal in history.
So much Solidarity Apsana. You are one brave woman and this was so difficult to watch. Sending you lots of love. You were completely failed by the party machine and I will never vote Labour again. Rivkah, great interview: you were so empathetic and thanks for giving a voice to voices that are strategically made invisible or vilified ❤
Power and solidarity to you Apsana. We stand with you
Impossible, Starmers supporters & the media say he’s so honest, impeccable morals and sorting labours problems out
Glad to hear Ms. Begum having the opportunity to give her experience of this long running saga (for want of a better word). It seems unbelievable that her ex-husband has retained his position and influence within the Party, with no consequences. It seems incredibly arrogant for any Party leader to state that there is no issue of racism affecting their members or representatives, or indeed carried out by certain individuals.
The contribution of local MPs, Councillors and activists has far more impact on us than distant figureheads beyond our reach, I wish people would stop this cult of the personality /hero worship, as if our "Dear Leaders" are the Saviours. Who does the groundwork, the local interventions on behalf of ordinary people? Ms. Begum obviously has community supporters and engages in local concerns, despite the unchallenged harassment.
Starmer is a wasteman. If he had any morals he would have left a LONG time ago.
Labour party is irredeemable.
Apsana. I hope you have much support and love around you with your family. I'm sorry you've had this experience, solidarity with you Xxxx
I was a victim of misogyny in the Labour Party in Tower Hamlets as well.
What a brave soul! May she have a seat in our Parliament and bring her wise spirit to our laws for years to come.
who holds the leader/ government to account. the media . the political opposition. the law. well none of those. in my country. and whilst America is painfully dragging itself off and into a new direction still not there either
Her ex-husband, the media and the Labour Party disgust and I hope she's reelected by her constituents!
I have given up on the Labour Party.
Solidaritet kamrat. ❤
Apsana is as tough as they come and a very genuine human being! Her ex needs castrating as he can't handle being male!
60 million people would have been fired for letterbox comments. all it takes is for Labour to get it into the news. and make some big snowball drama. ......but no. nothing. never heard starmer mention it, say it.
Apsana, sending you so much love. I feel for you. Thank you for sharing your story, this hits home as a fellow British WOC (of a Muslim background)💕
Solidarity Apsana. That sounds like a living nightmare, but you're strong and you got through it! Thanks for sharing your story 💖💖
What a very brave lady, solidarity Apsana x
I am so incredibly proud that Apsana is my MP and she is the only reason I will be voting Labour. I won't be voting for the party leadership, I will be voting for her because of her integrity, compassion and courage. It is funny that on pretty much every issue I care about, whenever there is a call to contact your MP, she has already taken a stand and said something. It is truly awful what happened to her and her resilience is just incredible.
Novara, someone in your team needs to send a link to this video to the Labour Party - e.g. Sir Keir, Angela or someone else senior.
This poor woman has been through such an ordeal and deserves much more support from the party she represents.
We're at risk of losing a great MP.
Tbh her success came from yet another undemocratic process (AWS) in the Labour Party, so not much sympathy there. She was not qualified at all to stand when she did with the experience she had without the Labour AWS.
AWS is a sexist manifestation of the broken FPTP system that fosters "safe seats". We need electoral reform.
We are all here for you Apsana, solidarity my Socialist companion. Your ex sounds like a complete control orientated "insert swear here". Reach out wherever you can even to us and your constituents. It's absolutely disgusting to me that this happens especially to communities that needs and cries out for this help. 🤗💕✊
I would like to hear the ex-husband’s side. Before I come to any conclusions.
Seems like there are two puzzles here. The personal conflict with her ex-husband and the public conflict between the left and centre left of the Labour party. Hard to disentangle.
Dont mean to sound small but can we get a handle on this. Thanks
Yet shes still in labour....
She's not Bangladeshi, she's a British citizen. I think she means she's Sylheti.
Bangladeshi is an ethnicity. Sylheti is more specific. As it stands Sylhet is recognised as part of Bangladesh.
@@shairafaiza7261 you clearly don't understand the meaning of ethnicity and nationality. If Bangladeshi was an ethnicity, then are you saying East Pakistani is also an ethnicity? If that's the case you are saying ethnicity can change? Go and study English before commenting such nonsense. Sylheti is an ethnicity.
There’s always two sides to a story, If you’re going to vote.. vote reform!
why is she wearing the vail if she is against mysogenist? Women with no choice are being killed , take it off if you mean it. 30 years ago no Muslim friend of mine wore it. Wish Her Well , much love to Her. Do not give room to abuse against any girl or woman or the Israeli government wins , simple
Hijab is a personal choice. Forcing someone to wear it is just as bad as forcing someone to not wear it. What’s so hard about that to understand?
Where did the Israeli government come in babe? You sound confused.
@@shairafaiza7261 the Israeli chose to be cruel to the Palestinians and women are now dealing with being brainwashed or abused or guilt in wearing one to prove they are not selling their soul to " the occupier " What happens when we are uncomfortable ? We get upset uncomfortable sad ecc I used to swim in topless with my Muslim friends and my Muslim ex , never had issues , I lived with Muslims we did not have this Vail crap going on now look. Can't You see you are being manipulated by the uncaring presence , truly it should not be put on the woman shoulder to show they are still submissive to one religion to fight another cruel to others one. Is all a waist to keep just all the same going the some way
@@midknight1968you've lost the plot
@@YTP_TanimAbedin I actually recornize patriarchal manipolation fast
Well go away to bongodesh
Had she kept to the narrative that it was her left wing politics and working class roots I would support her but when she mentions one of the reasons is being a Muslim woman then my support evaporates.
I worked most if my life on the Airlines Gulf Air ( Bahrain based) and later British Airways ( recruitment and training )and whenever a dispute arose say over promotion etc with a Muslim they always mentioned its because I am a Muslim, no its not, its because others were better qualified, had better interpersonal skills and were well liked.
I understand what you are saying about your experience as individuals will not see their lack of knowledge, skills or experience as a reason and will opt for race gender religion...etc. I feel that she would have felt undercurrents and seen a different approach because of her religious beliefs.... Although she is clear that the party isn't well equipt to deal with such matters as domestic abuse and not just Labour
Wow Um ok. I mean that’s your perspective and that’s those specific individuals you worked with. Islamophobia definitely exists Phil and people ARE discriminated against for being Muslim. But sure!
Ok ok ok I get it..... vote tory. Cheers novara
If that's the takeaway you've managed to figure out from this, you'll be in good company with many Tory voters.
