           I have been informed by the Chief Whip & the Labour Party leadership that the whip has been withdrawn from me for voting to scrap the two-child benefit cap, which would lift 330,000 children out of poverty. I will always stand up for the most vulnerable in our society.

             This is telling. Labour has not won. The Tories lost and the SNP have lost, whilst Reform and the Greens have won, and the LibDems have been exceedingly organised. But Labour has not won hearts and minds. Not in the slightest.

             Labour loses in Chingford and Woodford Green to Tory Ian Duncan Smith. And they did it to themselves. Deselecting their candidate Faiza Shaheen who was in tears on news night and parachuting in right-winger Shama Tatler who never had any connection to the constituency.

             Jeremy, ‘For The Many’. Praful, ‘For The Money’. Don’t let it happen. All hands on deck. Get to Islington North.  https://t.co/mYD86cabb0 
          
           Praful Nargund could turn out be one of the richest MPs in the Commons, and one of the richest Labour MPs in history. Company accounts show his IVF business made £16.7million in the nine months ending December 2021.

             Has anyone seen @Keir_Starmer in Chingford and Woodford Green? It's only 20 minutes away on the tube. His absence shows how much he actually cares about this constituency.

             Thank you, Scott, for making a last-minute decision to put your trust in me as an Independent MP. After working for years to beat Iain Duncan Smith, and seeing my mum suffer under his changes to disability benefits before she died, I’m also desperate to see him and the

             I don’t have the party machinery to pay for deliveries, or paid councillors to door knock for me - I have a people-powered campaign drawing on the skills and commitment of the community. What we have achieved in just a few weeks is remarkable. 2 more days to go, let’s finish the

             Labour has changed. It’s a party of racism. A party that attracts those who shout “Vote Labour. Get rid of these Palestinians”, and feel secure doing it. Let’s put a halt to that now. @ Ealing, west London. #DontVoteLabour

             Labour shadow minister Bridget Phillipson is asked if Keir Starmer has a problem with the Bangladeshi community. Phillipson ignores the question so she's asked again. Again Phillipson ignores the question. So she's asked again. And again. #GMB

             High quality candidate 😉 
           NEW: Jeremy Corbyn isn't the only candidate who Starmer changed his mind about between 2019 and 2024. Here's how he described @faizashaheen before the last general election.

             The tactical voting website had been suggesting a vote for Labour in Chingford and Woodford Green - to beat the Tories. That advice has now been withdrawn. Why? Because the best person to vote for to beat Ian Duncan Smith is @faizashaheen. #Winning #OurChoiceOurVoice
