What have Labour done in their first campaign week? Deselected left-wing (not Israel supporting) candidates!! Diane Abbott (not sure but looks like it), now Doctor Faiza Shaheen, in Chingford, and more. This is appalling. Really angry.

EDIT: it’s become a bit of a 🧵 because i am so angry. But honestly: everyone should be very angry about this, on Faiza’s behalf and for us all.

Ok this was one among 14 tweets. 14 tweets in 10 years! Listen to Faiza on Newsnight last night. And please join me in being outraged about this. Faiza is a fantastic candidate and person all round. This is deeply wrong. And look at who exactly is being deselected. Really really angry.

X (formerly Twitter)Aaron Bastani (@AaronBastani) on XI’m genuinely worried for my civil liberties under a @Keir_Starmer government. Watch this, from @faizashaheen tonight on #newsnight

I mean, I left Labour 3 years ago. And would have left again many times since then. But if for some strange reason I was still a member noe I would absolutely 💯 leave right now, just over this!

With Rachel Shabi on this:

“Labour using risible claims of antisemitism to bully and ruin the political fortunes of women of colour is one of the most obnoxious things I've seen in politics. It is using fake
accusations of racism to be racist. Utterly shameful. No self-declared antiracist would tolerate it.”

@pvonhellermannn I won’t be able to make myself to vote labour… I just can’t

@pvonhellermannn And Luke Akehurst is standing as a candidate.... I can't deal with this any more and finally resigned

@Alexlee yes, Luke Akehurst too! I really am appalled and angry. And worried about our future civil liberties under Starmer. Glad to hear you have resigned, too.

@pvonhellermannn I think Starmer will not last because the situation in this country is incredibly dire and Labour has zero ideas. Nothing.

I think within 18 months this will become unbearable and the whole country will see how pathetic this leader is. He will be forced out.

I wanted to stay to fight for a socialist candidate after him but I see no chance of this happening any more. I only hope a new socialist party can challenge them because we are in desperate times now.
