Faiza Shaheen on the Labour Party being 'institutionally corrupt' | LBC
Lewis Goodall is joined by former Labour candidate Faiza Shaheen who was dropped by her party to understand what her plans are for the general election.
"Have you heard anything more from the Labour Party at all? Since your communication?"
'No, I mean there was something on the e-mail when they said that we're dropping you as a candidate. That was like we can understand that this will be upsetting. Here's a link to mental health resources, so that was how they signed off.'

She was being protected and promoted by Corbynistas and Momentum. Why is she so concerned about "getting another job" and in the next to breath saying "I'm an academic at LSE" and I was advising governments at the UN. There is so much more to this story than being presented by Faiza. She was warned several times by post-Corbyn Labour, but she is an ego driven self obsessed narcissist. This particular type of personality uses victim-solidarity and personal victimhood to manipulate all around. It also helps that she was called Britain's AOC, a moniker she welcomed as it also connected with her US interests. For all her bluff and bluster, the unknown, last minute Labour candidate (Tatler) came away with more votes than "I've been active here for years, I grew up here" Faiza Shaheen. What happened? Why does nothing quite add up?
Hello Jew here !! if you believe me but it is NOT antisemetic to criticise Israel,It is NOT antisemetic to even question the whole premise and basis for Israel,criticising Israel its government or how it is structured and its treatment of Palestinians is NOT antisemetic.This has to stop as this is the worst thing for Jewish people !!the worst. I am not a supporter of Israel either this goernment or previous ones,I do not support Israel as an entity,aI do not want people harmed or killed either Israelis pr Palestinians but people should be able to question and critcise Israel and not be called antisemetic. That sketch that she liked is not a reason to dismiss her,its absolutely rediculous and its a witch hunt.

What does Lewis mean by Jon Stewart "isn't the litmus test for if this is alright"? Stewart is a Jewish comedian talking about his experience of trying to report on Israel and Palestine. So what Lewis, we shouldn't listen to this Jewish man, we should let the Labour Party be the judge of what is and isn't antisemitic? The extent to which the voice of certain of Jewish people is ignored is ridiculous.

Corbyn lost two elections. FWIW, I agreed with him on many issues, including austerity and Iraq, but he was dismissive of antisemitism, which isn't mere 'nonsense' to those who are intrinsically affected, and his position on Russia is disturbing in view of its attack on Ukraine. So, it's arguable how big a loss he is.

@@robinj6137 I've criticised the OP, but there is an alternative argument which says that the very poorest in society will not significantly benefit from a Starmer government relative to a (hypothetically) more left-wing government. Look at the cap on child benefit, for example. How does that benefit the poorest members of society? Now, I'm rational and pragmatic enough to still appreciate that a Labour government is inifinitely superior for society's poorest than a Tory one, but it's glib to dismiss criticisms from the left, particularly the charge that the present Labour PLP is a sanitised version of the Tories on policies that would truly benefit the poorest in society.

How is it that Faiza Shaheen was selected by her local candidate process (for the current electoral cycle) in July 2022, has canvassed since then and yet was refused endorsement by the NEC in late May 2024? According to Faiza, the NEC relied on adverse historical Twitter/X conduct and if that’s the case why has this process taken 22 months to resolve? There’s something fundamentally devoid of due process here considering the work that Faiza has done to turn a Tory strong seat to a marginal.

TBF, Elphicke isn't standing for re-election. It was a cynical 'gotcha' strategy by Starmer's team to get one over on the Tories rather than a conscious endorsement of Elphicke. I'm not defending it whatsoever, especially in view of Elphicke's previous words condemning her husband's accusers/victims, and I know at least one former Labour voter who will not be supporting the party on this basis. However, it's not a like-for-like comparison with Faiza.
Faiza Shaheen was dropped as Labour's candidate in Chingford and Woodford Green, after allegedly liking antisemitic posts on X. It is understood her candidacy was not endorsed by Labour's National Executive Committee... I was surprised she got dropped for she looked like a shoe in to defeat Iain Duncan in the General Election - This happens to my voting constituency and I actually voted for Faiza in the last General Election - I have no idea who Labour are going to parachute in now - Absolute bonkers.

The key point is the trope is they control, while the reality is they just influence (albeit pretty successfully).

The thing that especially annoys me about this is the bringing up of liking tweets from before she was a member in 2014! I'm not necessarily a Labour supporter but as a supporter of those who have a similar voice coming together this speaks volumes of the creeping authoritarianism of the leadership that the party has in terms of different voices.
Gobsmacked Starmer went into politics and worst when he joined Labour and stood side by side with Corbyn. Cause the Starmer I saw in Whitehall was anything but Labour centric and more of an establishment figure. More will come to light when PM Starmer starts making key public appointments of certain figures currently in the shadows and helped him get to this position.

I'm unsure it's feasible to highlight the point of Starmer "over correcting" antisemitism when 2 white Labour MPs made highly antisemitic posts/comments, and were effectively given a light slap on the wrist. It's clear this "over correction" only exists for left-wing, POC candidates, who have ties to the Palestine cause. Yet another reason to take my vote elsewhere - I hope the remaining lefties in Labour finally leave the ship that's veering towards the right at an alarming pace before austerity part 3 is launched.
There are plenty of lobby groups. The fast food lobby, the gambling lobby, the pharmaceutical lobby, the arms industry lobby, the alcohol lobby, the private school lobby, the NHS, privatisation lobby, the tobacco lobby, the tourism/hotel lobby, the airline lobby, the car makers lobby, the housing developer lobby, the TV broadcaster lobby, the Russian state lobby, to name a few. Just saying the words "Israel lobby", a lobby group that exists, elicited a reaction from Lewis saying that the mention of something that exists is 'problematic'. If you say the words, the 'Saudi lobby', are you islamophobic? Then, he glosses over the mention of the very thorough Ford Report which highlighted how the issue of anti-semitism was highly weopanised and exaggerated for factional reasons within Labour. And he is supposed to be one of the better journalists.

The truth is that Faiza is a hard left corbynista who has supported contentious causes and not followed the party line. This interview gives an idea of how sensitive she is to any criticism. The party was quite correct to deselect her.
Another blackmail coming to fruition. Another sad day for democracy.
Wonderful woman
What was anti semetic about the tweet? Does AIPAC not have a significant influence on US politicians that challenges democracy and impartiality? I'm very disappointed with the framing of this issue by Lewis.
This interview shows Labour dodged a bullet with this candidate
Best wishes for your future
They advised her to get mental health support. The old Soviet Union used to insist opponents had psychiatric treatment.
Lol askong to get a dedicated member of your own party to get mental help after you gaslight them is just deeply sad and poor for an adult of his supposed stature. Just sad.
Best outcome of election I'm hoping for is labour win but starmer loses his seat I'm a dreamer 😂

@andrina118 OK I see. Thanks.
She was always came across well when she was on TV talking about economics a few years ago before she became involved in Labour. In 2018, she was selected to be the prospective parliamentary candidate for Labour for Chingford and Woodford Green, coming second in the snap 2019 general election to the incumbent, Iain Duncan Smith. In 2023, her first book, Know Your Place, was published. Shaheen was again selected by her local party in 2022 to stand for Chingford and Woodford Green, but was deselected after the July 2024 election was announced in late May due to the nature of historical social media posts she had liked. On 4 June 2024, Shaheen resigned from the Labour Party. On 5 June, she announced that she was standing as an independent candidate for the constituency.
As if the Tories can even point fingers, considering their atrocious history.

@@Dynasty1818 I’m pretty sure they didn’t have multiple parties while the country was on lockdown, with loved ones dying alone in care homes and hospitals. And maybe look around at the utter shambles the country is in right now because of the conservatives, remember how Liz Truss completely tanked the economy!!!!
Why is this guy so condescending ?

What are you on about
I am Canadian and have limited understanding of your politics. But as an outsider, I am impressed with this lady both in what she is saying and in her personal demeanor. Questions around Israeli actions are always difficult as we can't seem to find an appropriate balance. Sadly the last best chance for peace died with Yitzhak Rabin in 1995; ironically, assassinated by a far right Jewish terrorist. I raise that because it demonstrates how difficult it is to have a balanced 'human' discussion on the topic. Hopefully, this lady finds a path that keeps her in the public eye as she is clearly a person with leadership potential.
