Exactly. This local campaign was the most toxic I’ve ever witnessed. Lies, bullying and intimidation all on the doorstep- from Labour. They’ve turned away thousands of voters from them… a winnable seat will be lost to them for years to come. Shameful.
Will this committee on intimidation be reaching out to me @YvetteCooperMP? What about Labour councillors going to door to door and spreading lies about me (we have evidence)
How do you think people feel about entering politics after what happened to me?
The idea that the Labour Party are the good guys or can lecture others is rubbish

I’m deeply concerned at news that Wes Streeting is considering making the ban on puberty blockers permanent.
Sensitive healthcare decisions are profoundly personal and are best taken on an individual basis with appropriate professional support - not by the health secretary.
Let the Hunger Games commence…
I’d be interested in knowing whether Kemi thinks I’m having a “very public nervous breakdown”.

It’s quite interesting that there his been a wave of support for parties outside of the conservatives and Labour. A wave of Green Party in the east. Some reform dotted around and some great independents.
Please don’t come back. Your campaign was fairly shameful from start to finish. From being dropped in here by your NEC mates to your insinuations about Faiza and your campaigners lies and aggression on the doorstep. Labour have lost so much support here that took years to build.

They would rather inflict one of the worst Tories on this constituency and country again, than let the wildly capable, effective and popular Faiza win. A disgrace - that’s the Labour Party now
What a remarkable campaign- this team has restored my faith in politics and that good people actually care about our community. 600 volunteers yesterday alone! @faizashaheen IS passionate, informed and inspiring. Robbed of this by factionalism, but should hold her head high! 💜

I just can’t get past Labour winning 65% of seats off 34% of the vote.
Absolutely wild mismatch between the headline result and, well, everything else.
Britain is now a multi-party system, and first-past-the-post can’t cope.
Laura retweeted
Stand up to bullies. Something seemingly lost on this man.
Well done on a terrific campaign @faizashaheen - your family should feel very proud.

Every single broadcaster cutting away from Jeremy Corbyn as he was about to give his victory speech to cover Nigel Farage is the past decade in British politics in a nutshell

Ian Duncan Smith held Chingford.
Let this be a lesson to Labour.
This loss is on Kier Starmer.
Faiza would have won.

Mr Reeves, my old A Level Economics teacher getting the vote out today 😭
Legend!!!!
So emotional and so meaningful to run in your home seat. That’s why when I was told to wait for a safe seat in 2018 I said no. I want to represent my community!
Today people who will vote for me include people I walked to school with, that I worked in Greggs with, who came to my mother’s funeral… my old GP, the person who makes me a coffee before I get on the tube from Woodford, my neighbours.
People who know I will always stand up for the NHS, education, equality, justice, for the environment. And most of all, they know I will always fight for my home and for them.
So proud to have been a small part of this campaign! A COMMUNITY campaign for a community candidate! Vote Faiza Shaheen today 💜 it’s INDEPENDENTs day!
The polls are open!
Beautiful Chingford & Woodford Green, let’s show the world what we’ve got!
Our community and people-powered campaign could win today,
They know it and they are scared.
The Tories are finally out, let’s start a new politics
#GeneralElection2024
Agreed. I hope in the aftermath of this election there will be a genuine conversation about proportional representation! We need different voices! Two parties shouldn’t be the options!

Isn’t this just indicative of an uninspiring campaign by Labour. People right now just want the tories to end… they’re not excited for Labour 🫣
We asked Labour voters to tell us in their own words the main reason they are backing the party. For the largest number by far the key motivation is ousting the Conservatives
Top 5 reasons
Get the Tories out: 48%
Country needs a change: 13%
Agree with their policies: 5%
To improve NHS: 4%
Best-liked party with a change of winning: 4%
