Thanks to friends & ex-constituents for all the messages of support.
The struggle for dignity and freedom is universal.
Below is the #Bengali translation of the #poetry of Mahmoud Darwish, the national poet of #Palestine, published in #Bangladesh and read in the East End.
1/6 🧵
Just resigned from the #Labour Party. I first joined the party in 1995 and resigned for personal and ethical reasons with the ‘illegal’ foreign policy stance during the New Labour government. I rejoined in 2015.
🚨 TOWER HAMLETS LABOUR: THIRD PLACE? THE HOLBORN BY-ELECTION EFFECT
Labour won just 21.1% in Tower Hamlets’ 2026 mayoral election, narrowly ahead of the Greens on 20.9%. In Holborn, the Greens are also challenging Labour.
Two constituencies. One question: is Labour facing a deeper crisis?
Could the realignment spread by 2030?

The issue with projections such as these is running off a local election for a by-election. In a local election, an existing councillor has around 10 to 15% of their votes on a personal basis. These soft votes are for anyone taking, as the councillor is not on the ballot.

Free Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi.
They’ve been held in inhumane conditions without medical attention, and both have reported significant eye damage. No one should be treated this way.
I stand with the thousands of protestors marching in Pakistan demanding their release. The people of Pakistan deserve free and fair elections.

5/ Update: @HarcaPoplar staff have been seen removing the dumped rubbish. A positive step and welcome response in getting the area cleaned up. 👏 Independent resident action is necessarily when everything else fails. Just incase it's missed some more rubbish to collect please.

4/ Enough is enough. Residents are documenting these problems because they want action, not excuses. @PoplarHARCA must keep emergency routes clear and deal with dumped waste. #BurdettEstate #Accountability

3/ 🚒 BLOCKED EMERGENCY ACCESS
Despite repeated warnings and a recent fire where crews struggled to access the estate, emergency access remains blocked. This needs urgent action. @PoplarHARCA #EmergencyAccess #FireSafety

2/ 🚨 More rubbish and discarded items creating potential fire hazards. After the recent estate fire, why are these issues still being allowed to remain? @PoplarHARCA #FireSafety

🧵 BURDETT ESTATE
1/ Dumped furniture and rubbish left around the estate. A fire and safety concern that residents should not have to keep reporting. @HarcaPoplar #BurdettEstate

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Where was the equality check? A petition goes to Tower Hamlets' full council on 7 Oct.

🚨 Tower Hamlets has more money than ever; are its finances getting worse?
More money should mean greater financial security. But a closer look at the Council’s finances raises questions about where the money is going, what has changed, and what residents are getting for it.

And asked the Council to establish:
1. Whether it is aware of the fire-safety concerns repeatedly raised by Burdett Estate residents.

🚨 Tower Hamlets’ next Grenfell?
Burdett residents have been raising fire-safety concerns for four years. Were they listened to?
Warnings ignored. Questions unanswered. Accountability needed.
How many warnings before action?
