Labour Makes A Big Mistake In East London; Now They'll Pay For it

Labour thought East London was its property; but a sneer from Wes Streeting has triggerd an hilarious response message to voters. Right, so shiny faced recipient of private health donations, the health secretary Wes Streeting has picked a fight in Redbridge, his home patch, though hopefully not for a great deal longer if polling counts for anything and Labour is the one now taking the hit, because instead of putting out a slick little campaign video bigging up his party in the run up to local elections, he put out a warning shot against Redbridge Independents, called them divisive, tried to turn Jeremy Corbyn, who has publicly backed them into a warning label, tried to make campaigning on issues such as Palestine, Kashmir and Sudan, places of war and genocide sound like embarrassing distractions from proper council business, and then pointed at the Aspire run Tower Hamlets as a basket case, as if Labour’s own local record before them was something anyone sensible would laminate and frame, instead of being the reason people dumped Labour there and basically went independent too. Nice try, but no. Redbridge decided to reply to Wesly with a video of their own, now much more widely doing the rounds because it is so much better, hammering all the things Labour hates most, and answering Streeting’s sneer with plenty of receipts.
