With Faiza Shaheen now running as an Independent after Starmer deselected her, 50 Labour members follow her out the door.
Right, so in the last couple of days there’s been a bit of blow for Starmer’s Labour in at least one of their stitch up seats and it’s arguably one of the better known ones, though the framing of this story by some mainstream media sources would imply butter doesn’t melt in Starmer’s mouth.
The dismissal of Faiza Shaheen as the Labour candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green, after she had continued to campaign for the party for four years, only to be ditched in the last minute purge of potential candidates absolutely sickened people in her constituency, the Labour membership there and this was reinforced upon the imposition of a pro Zionist right wing candidate instead of the pro Palestinian Shaheen. This was exacerbated still further, when a leaked recording of Shaheen’s National Executive interview came to light, where she was clearly dealing with an upset baby, scheduled at a time where child care was unavailable to her, an interview conducted by three members of the NEC, two of whom had effectively awarded themselves safe seats.
Shaheen has now chosen to quit Labour and run as an independent and who can blame her after all the work she had put in for Labour, but crucially, nearly 50 other members of Chingford and Woodford Green Labour have followed her out of the door, so they can campaign for her too.
Right, so the question I have, watching the shenanigans Starmer’s Labour have got up to, for once under public and media scrutiny, to an extent at any rate, in Chingford and Woodford Green is one of is the scale of desertion that we’ve just witnessed there from Labour being repeated elsewhere and what kind of an impact could that have? Is it just localised, will it only be certain seats, or is there problems on the scale that we’ve observed concerning Faiza Shaheen, because we’ve seen candidates being parachuted in all over the place, whether the seats are even winnable of not. The Labour candidate where I am in the far west of Cornwall for example, is from Manchester, a seat Labour have never won, are not likely to win, but even here, Starmer can’t apparently let local people pick one of their own, so just how widespread is this control freakery that has happened and to what extent are members either downing tools in effect and refusing to campaign though remain in the party at a minimum, or at a maximum, are quitting the party entirely, taking their experience and their campaigning time and effort elsewhere as seen surrounding Faiza Shaheen?
Now I covered her disgusting treatment and replacement in another video the other week, but since then Shaheen has gone on to quit Labour completely, a move referred to by some in the Labour right as ‘shaking off fleas’ which really shows how valued members and campaigners are now. Starmer and Co have the donors, so don’t care about the members, despite Labour’s election campaign game always being one of conversations on doorsteps, boots on the ground, volunteers giving up their time and effort to get the vote out and if Labour think these aren’t needed anymore, well that is going to be put to the test.
