Labour expels 11 members over Lutfur links

October 1, 2010 by trialbyjeory

A Labour spokesman has tonight confirmed to me that 11 party members, including eight councillors, have been expelled. He would not confirm names but they are thought to include the following councillors who I named in this post last week: Ohid Ahmed, Alibor Choudhury, Oliur Rahman, Rania Khan, Lutfa Begum, Rabina Khan, Aminur Khan and Shelina Aktar.

The spokesman said: “Eleven members of the Tower Hamlets Labour party have automatically expelled themselves because of their actions in clearly supporting candidates who are standing against us. The 11 include eight councillors. Anyone who campaigns against the party will receive the same action.”

Separately, a Labour source said there was deep unease over the position of Ken Livingstone who told me at the party conference in Manchester last week that the treatment of Lutfur Rahman had been “disgraceful” and urged voters to place him second on the ballot paper.

The source said that was the wrong attitude and added: “People have to realise that you’re either with us or against us in this. I’m not happy about what Ken said.”

    There is no fairness or justice in the Labour Party any more, Labour is dead in Tower Hamlets.


  2. on October 2, 2010 at 2:15 am Lutfur will come third, perhaps fourth

    People are delighted

    It’s only a pity that Councillor Rofique Ahmed – possibly the most hated and definitely the most useless man in Tower Hamlets politics didn’t go to the press conference or he would have gone too.

    The IFE will dump these people when Lutfur looses and their faction is without influence.

      More Islamaphobic scaremongering?

      Can the person who made the comment about Cllr Rofique Ahmed have the decency to reveal should put his/her name! The person who is anomymous always turns out to be dodgy!!

      I know cllr Rofique Ahmed and I can vouch that he is an honest, sincere and hard working councillor!

    There’s apparently a widespread belief amongst those expelled that the are not really going. They are.

    Good on them for standing up to the injustice and witch-hunt that is orchastrated by the nasty neanderthal racists and Islamaphobes in the Labour party. It is so disgusting that Labour party has turned into a political party like this. They might even take over the BNP soon!!

    Anybody seen Ken Livingstone in Tower Hamlets this month?

    […] am waiting for the Labour party press office’s position on the matter. However, just as 11 members were expelled last week, I can’t see how Lord Ahmed can also […]
