I am absolutely delighted to announce that I have been selected to stand as the Green Party parliamentary candidate for Ilford South constituency at the next general election.
The work to rid Redbridge of Labour begins now! Please donate to the campaign.

A couple of days ago, I received a lot of slack for posting a picture of an 'unfinished' mural in Ilford, dedicated to the brave journalists of Gaza.
Now that the mural is completely finished. I decided to post it again. It's only fair! 💚
Yesterday, in Bolton, 13 men aged between 21 & 24 appeared in court charged with more than 50 sexual offences against girls aged between 14 & 17.
This will obviously come as a shock to Suella Braverman as none of the accused were British Pakistani. 🤷🏽♂️
I am gobsmacked! The Chabad Lubavitch Centre in Ilford North, a registered charity minutes away from my home, has publicly stated that it is fundraising money for the IDF.
How can fundraising for an army accused of international war crimes and genocide be considered legal…
Wow, the Labour Party just lost one of its safest council seats to an independent socialist candidate in Newham.
Labour lost to Mehmood Mirza, a former Labour Party member & NEC candidate, before he was suspended from the party.
He was up against and beat the NEC's candidate, a…

Not only has she made a blatant Islamophobic remark, but now, rather than apologise, she is trying to justify her comments.
It is clear to all Muslims that Riley is fostering an environment that's really hostile to Muslims!

Absolute disgrace!
When I reported Islamophobia to the party, Mike Gapes & Wes Streeting's office manager were amongst some of the people who lobbied GLU to suspend me instead of my abuser.
Till today, no action has been taken against those complicit.
Don't dare tell me the party has treated…
After very careful consideration, I have made the decision to terminate my contract with a Labour Party MP.
I can no longer, with a clear consciousness, continue my association with a party that turns a blind eye to racism and support war crimes.
I have just received an email from
@UKLabour
suggesting I have been expelled from the party.
The problem is, aside from the blatant injustice, I am not a party member. I resigned weeks ago!
You can't expell someone who is not a member of the party. 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Absolutely appalling! Labour-led Redbridge Council uses taxpayers' money to have Palestinian flags taken down in Ilford North.
Residents will not be silent or silenced!
I am shocked to hear Ian Austin has a role at the University of Warwick as a Member of an Advisory Group.
How can
@uniofwarwick
allow someone who regularly posts Islamophobic content on social media to hold a position within the institution?
Exclusive: Wes Streeting says
@UKLabour
would kick out NHS managers guilty of misconduct.
But how can he, when he himself is complicit in the very same misconduct?
Late last year, Wes Streeting made a personal phone call to the chief executive of the NHS Trust where I work,…
It seems the Blairites can't get enough of me!
Today, I am in court to enter a 'not guilty' plea over multiple false & malicious allegations made against me by local right-wing Labour councillors.
Wish me luck!
Dear Muslim members of the Labour Party.
There is no honour in staying silent on the attacks against
@jeremycorbyn
, a lifelong supporter of causes so close to the hearts of Muslims worldwide.
Khalid Ibn al-Walid once said, "May the eyes of the cowards never sleep".
Wow. A very clear message from residents in Ilford North. Unlike Wes Streeting, Redbridge stands with Palestine!
I have been told that the local authority keeps taking the flags down. But somehow, they keep coming back up again. 🤷🏽
#FreePalestine
Well, that didn't last long, so much for rebuilding the public's trust in the Met.
Two Metropolitan police officers based in the North West command unit were arrested over the Bank Holiday weekend over allegations of kidnapping, beating and raping a woman.
The system is rotten…
In my opinion, the Labour Party is a cesspit of Islamophobes!
Due to the Labour Party, I was:
• Racially abused, then suspended when I complained.
• Unlawfully arrested, my home raided, and my electronic devices were confiscated.
• Three separate police investigations on the…
It seems like David Lammy MP's constituents aren't happy with his, and the Labour Party's failure to call for a ceasefire in Palestine.
"You can't hide. Stop supporting genocide. Free Palestine." How artistic. I love it! 🎨
Last night, on my way home having just finished a 12-hour shift, I was confronted by a group of right-wing Redbridge Labour councillors, some of whom had previously falsified malicious complaints against me.
On 26th April, I appeared in court and pleaded 'not guilty' to a false & malicious accusation made against me by a right-wing Labour Party councillor.
Today, I am delighted to announce that the CPS have informed me of their decision to drop the case against me. One down, one…
I recently appeared in court and pleaded 'not guilty' to a false allegation made against me by a right-wing Labour Party councillor.
Shortly after, the CPS dropped the case. As a result, I am now left with a hefty legal bill, the bulk of which the court will not reimburse. Is it…
Mike Gapes was MP for Ilford South CLP whilst I was secretary.
After our GC endorsed Jeremy Corbyn as leader, I was racially abused & then suspended when I complained. Instead of challenging the racism, Mike expected "the strongest possible disciplinary action" against me. 🤦🏾♂️
Fuming! Listening to Keir Starmer repeatedly refuse to oppose pay cuts for nurses is despicable!
As someone who works in the NHS, this is a nasty smack in your face.
So much for being a key worker!
It took a few years, but the level of hypocrisy clearly speaks for itself.
The
@DailyMailUK
seem to have had a 'eureka' moment. Or maybe they just didn't like Corbyn. 🤷🏽♂️
Wow. Now this is how you win, and win big!
Lorna Russell, a former Labour Party Cllr who defected to The Greens, has absolutely smashed the Labour Party in a byelection.
And wait for it, in Keir Stramer's constituency!
I have received a notice of investigation and been placed under administrative suspension.
Having only recently been reinstated as a
@UKLabour
member after wrongfully being suspended for more than three years, the Party has once again decided to pursue action against me. 1/3
You can't make this up!
Labour Party MP, Geraint Davies, who once compared Jeremy Corbyn's idea of women-only carriages as 'apartheid', has today been suspended from the party over serious allegations of sexual harassment & unacceptable behaviour towards women in Parliament.…
Wes Streeting is the current Chair of the APPG on British Muslims.
Yet his office staff were complicit in the attempted cover-up of the Islamophobic abuse I was subjected to.
He should resign as Chair of the APPG on British Muslims immediately!
It's official! I am delighted to announce that I intend to stand as a candidate at the next GE and will seek
@TheGreenParty
nomination to be their next PPC for Ilford South constituency.
I hope I can count on your support.
The Met have apologised to a woman after she was sent home & dismissed as "drunk" after going to Ilford police station to report she had been raped.
When trying to identify the officer responsible, the police said "the staff logs from that night have gone missing". 🤔
A gun-making far-right extremist who said minorities “should be shot” & “God, I hate Muslims” has been convicted of terrorism offences in the Midlands.
Vaughn Dolphin even managed to blow up his own kitchen while experimenting with explosives.
Why haven't the MSM reported this?
Christian Wakefield tweets his support for Gene Simmonds, a vile Islamophobe. He then makes an apology, and the party let him off the hook.
Diane Abbott, a lifelong anti-racist & the UK's first female black MP, made a similar error. She also apologised but is suspended instead!…
But, is the Labour Party really any different?
Wes Streeting's office manager was found to have been complicit in covering up Islamophobic abuse that I was subjected to.
Wes, if you really care about Islamophobia, will you sack your office manager?
Good luck to
@zarahsultana
who has been nominated for 'Backbench MP of the Year'.
There are not many MP's in Parliament who have been as vocal in defending working-class communities, particularly ethnic minorities, as Zarah has. 🤞🏼
Many left-wing commentators criticising
@HackneyAbbott
are hypocrites.
Why? Not one of them battered an eyelid when the Labour Party's leaked report revealed that Wes Streeting's office staff were complicit in abusing members & covering-up Islamophobia.
They refused to…
The Labour Party NEC deem life-long anti-racists, such as Jeremy Corbyn, as unfit to represent the party.
Yet, consider Tom Dewey, an individual investigated for, & now charged with making & possessing extreme pornographic images of children as fit.

After resigning, I assumed my troubles in the Labour Party were over. Wrong!
Since then, numerous right-wing Labour Party councillors have made multiple false, malicious & deflamatory allegations about me to the Metropolitan Police & my employer.
#WatchThisSpace
From where I am sitting, the only ones "breaching the peace" are the Metropolitan police.
The right to peaceful protest is a fundamental part of our democracy, likewise, a human right.
We should be worried!
How wonderful. Ian Austin has officially been sacked!
He still claims this was because of the "hard left" and nothing to do with the fact that he is an Islamophobe. 🤷🏽
Anyway,
@uniofwarwick
& Dudley College of Technology, how long before you take action?
Wes Streeting thinks South Africa's case of genocide against Israel at the ICJ is a "distraction."
Distraction from what exactly, Wes?
The mass murder of 30,000 innocent civilians!
A few months ago, I reported that a senior Labour Party MP on the front bench had made multiple complaints about me to my employer.
Today, I am delighted to confirm that I have been informed that no action will be taken against me!
Solidarity with

An attack on Trade Union's, is an attack against the working class!
Having joined the Party in 2015 it is clear now, more than ever, that the current leadership has no intention of implementing the recommendations that were set out in the
#FordeReport

So resident's have confirmed
@MikeGapes
Is going around telling locals that he is still the Labour Party candidate for Ilford South CLP! Naughty...naughty!
I feel very sorry for Jamie Driscoll tonight. In my experience working with him as a
@luhc
minister, he was knowledgeable, passionate about the NE and refreshingly non-partisan. A baffling decision by Labour.
As a Black woman, and someone on the left of the Labour Party, I have unfortunately been forced to reach the conclusion that I will not get a fair hearing from this Labour leadership.
It seems like Wes Streeting is already a little concerned about losing his 'safe seat' at the next GE.
Redbridge Labour is beginning its campaign in Ilford North this weekend. Someone has clearly rattled his cage! 🤔
The shocking revelations contained in last night's
#LabourFiles
documentary are a sad reality for hundreds of thousands of members like me, and the series shines a light on the abuse, challenges, and corruption, that left-wing activists are up against on a daily basis.
The University of Warwick has responded to our concerns about the scandalous appointment of
@LordIanAustin
as a member of an Advisory Group within the institution.
Ian Austin must be removed from the role immediately!
This is completely unacceptable!
Why has, and what right does Michael Gove have to interfere with
@MidlandHeart
internal disciplinary processes?
This is a clear example of a politician abusing his power and position!
Neil Coyle MP has been readdmitted into the Labour Party & has had the Labour whip returned after his “drunken abuse” and “racist comments”.
Yet,
@jeremycorbyn
, a lifelong anti racist, is told he is not welcome back in the PLP. 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏾♂️
The Labour Party's leaked report confirmed that Streeting's office manager was complicit in covering up Islamophobia.
The report also confirmed that Labour's GLU was also in on it, likewise Sam Matthews.
Every accusation is a confession!
My last tweet has received over 800 anti-Palestinian comments in the last 2 hours alone.
These coordinated comments show us that we now live in a time when EDL thugs are defending Labour Councils. Let that sink in!
Absolutely appalling! Labour-led Redbridge Council uses taxpayers' money to have Palestinian flags taken down in Ilford North.
Residents will not be silent or silenced!
In 2017, I gave the party a recording of me being racially abused. As a result, GLU suspended me.
The malicious campaign instigated against me by the party right, GLU & MPs is well documented on p.169 of the leaked report.
I hoped Forde's report would help change things. Wrong!
This is aerial footage of tens of thousands of civil servants, teachers, junior doctors, city tube workers & countless others on strike yesterday.
It was one of the biggest days of strike action in decades, yet the MSM are yet to air this footage. 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏽♂️
What a legend. Owen Jones has quit the Labour Party after 24 years as a member, and frankly, I don't blame him.
Anyone with a conscience should do the same.
Vote Greens 💚 or Independents!
I just quit Labour after 24 years.
We deserve better than the race to the bottom between Labour and the Tories.
Labour want you to think there's no alternative. But there is.
Join it:
Streeting states politicians should be able to stand for elections without fear or intimidation.
It is a shame he didn't feel the same way when he tried to have me sacked at work or when local right-wing Cllrs from Redbridge made false allegations about me to the police. 🤷🏽
"I am so sorry your amazon package has been delayed, I really am. I wish mine came on time, but you know, genocide guys, genocide."

Wow! the Labour Party just lost ANOTHER one of its safe council seats to an independent socialist candidate in Newham.
Sophia Naqvi, a former Labour Party member, managed to win by a country mile. This is now the 2nd by-elections Newham Labour has lost to independent candidates.
As one of the case studies & victims of racism highlighted in the Labour Party's leaked report, I am glad to see Channel 4 shed further light on the hierarchy of racism in the Labour Party.
But I must add, under Stramer's leadership, the racism & harassment of members has got…
I spoke to Martin Forde KC about allegations of anti-Black racism within the Labour party and the perceptions of hierarchy of racism he found in his report.

The city of Liverpool, likewise, Liverpool FC, know full well what it's like to be dragged through the mud, targeted by the establishment & despised by the MSM.
It's stupid to insinuate LFC fans chanting Corbyn's name equates to racism. A ridiculous take from the Guardian!
I am gobsmacked! A right-wing Redbridge Labour Party Cllr was complicit in stealing close to £1,000 of fundraised money meant for local charities in Ilford.

When Ukraine was attacked, people drove to its borders to hand-deliver sanitary products.
The same people now turn a blind eye whilst Palestinian women are having C-sections without anaesthetic and are forced to use scraps of tents in place of period pads.
Lets not beat around the bush!
Many in the Labour Party, including some in the PLP, have forged a political career for themselves on the back of Jeremy Corbyn's tenure as leader of the Labour Party.
Today, to protect that very career, they remain 🤫 The silence is deafening!
Al Jazeera's ‘Labour Files’ documentary exposing a hierarchy of racism in the Labour Party has won the Gold Award in New York.
Yet, the UK MSM still continue to ignore the findings at large & remain silent on racism in British politics. 🤦🏾♂️
Today, The Sunday Telegraph has reported that a right-wing Labour Party councillor from Redbridge and close ally of Wes Streeting MP, Tanweer Khan, has been suspended by the party over alleged antisemitism.
This is the same cllr who made false allegations about me to the police!
Wow! Two more Kirklees Labour councillors have now resigned from the Labour Party in protest against the party leadership.
Massive shout out to both Imran Safdar and Jo Lawson, both of whom will be remembered for the right reason in the history books!
One of the individuals started to verbally abuse and harass me while I was alone in a car park, so I thought it best to leave immediately, after defending myself by explaining that I refused to be bullied or intimidated.
I am deeply alarmed to learn that the Labour leadership has failed to engage with Martin Forde following the publication of his important report.
Read my full statement:
As I made my way to my car, the abusive councillor summoned more councillors to join him. It became apparent that they had concocted a plan, which involved calling enforcement officers and fabricating false claims against me.
UPDATE: I have entered a "not guilty" plea & the trial will begin in July.
I have been accused of causing distress to a Labour Party councillor, an allegation I categorically deny, and will vigorously challenge in court.
It seems the

Speechless to hear he been suspended by the Labour Party for saying: "We won’t rest until we have justice, until all people, Israelis and Palestinians, between the river and the sea can live in peaceful liberty."
Absolutely despicable decision!
Labour Party members, past & present, left, or right, should be very grateful to C4, the first MSM outlet, to report on the hierarchy of racism in the Labour Party.
The report reiterates what many of us have been saying for years and, in many cases, have experienced first-hand.…

The Labour Party's NEC have deselected 19 sitting Cllrs in Leicester, the majority from minority ethnic backgrounds.
That's close to 60% of the overall BME Labour councillors in the city.
Talk about taking the BME votes for granted and showing a middle finger to the community!
