@Iankingston73 @AatishSharma97 @KatyAllen4 @ektagohil95 @VirendraSharma @EalingLabour He’s responded today by accusing those who voted against (and presumably their supporters, too) of racism, among other things.

You don’t seem able to believe that a very great many of us have a totally opposite experience of him, which has taken you all by surprise.
Read more@Iankingston73 @AatishSharma97 @KatyAllen4 @ektagohil95 @VirendraSharma @EalingLabour You can argue the toss over the accuracy of some of the finer details of the article all you like, but that misses the point about his ineffectiveness in representing his constituents' interests against those of big business (which he bizarrely claims to do).

Read more@AatishSharma97 @Iankingston73 @KatyAllen4 @ektagohil95 @VirendraSharma @EalingLabour I’m basing this on Peter Mason’s timeline of events.

Read more@Iankingston73 @AatishSharma97 @KatyAllen4 @ektagohil95 @VirendraSharma @EalingLabour There’s no doubt that his comments were deeply divisive. Presumably why he subsequently apologised.

Read more@Iankingston73 @AatishSharma97 @KatyAllen4 @ektagohil95 @VirendraSharma @EalingLabour Everything else is spot on, though, right? The nitty gritty?
Read more@AatishSharma97 @MuffinThrower @VirendraSharma people vote Labour in Southall, not for the person, usually. I voted for Sharma at the last election, because I wanted the Tories out, and he was the Labour candidate. I’m sure many others did likewise.
Read more@AatishSharma97 @Iankingston73 @KatyAllen4 @ektagohil95 @VirendraSharma @EalingLabour I will tell you one thing. You are asking many more relevant questions than Sharma and co. have asked. Maybe you should stand to be MP?
Read more@AatishSharma97 @Iankingston73 @KatyAllen4 @ektagohil95 @VirendraSharma @EalingLabour The site should be properly covered as is done elsewhere. We are not against redevelopment per se. I live in (what was then) a new build myself. But don’t kid yourself these property developers are doing it for Southall people’s benefit.
Read more@AatishSharma97 @Iankingston73 @KatyAllen4 @ektagohil95 @VirendraSharma @EalingLabour Have you experienced the petrol and tar odour coming from the site? Were you here last summer during the heatwave, which made everything so much worse?
Read more@AatishSharma97 @Iankingston73 @KatyAllen4 @ektagohil95 @VirendraSharma @EalingLabour Trust me, we’ve already done this. If we’d had any support from Sharma and the rest, we wouldn’t be having this discussion.
Read more@AatishSharma97 @Iankingston73 @KatyAllen4 @ektagohil95 @VirendraSharma @EalingLabour This is exactly the problem residents have with Sharma et al. You don’t seem to care about health or quality of life for residents subjected to toxic foul air for two years, and who knows how many years to follow? We are collateral damage.
Read more@AatishSharma97 @Iankingston73 @KatyAllen4 @ektagohil95 @VirendraSharma @EalingLabour re: Waterside, yes, to make it safe. Sharma has done nothing to represent residents affected by it and actively stood in solidarity with developers. Bell and Mason the same. This is all documented and they don’t even deny it.

Read moreWell done to #Southall Labour party members for standing up to our anti-democratic MP and his cronies Bell and Mason. And thank you to them as well for showing such ongoing support and solidarity with the poor, oppressed people of #Southall. x.com/rsg1ll/status/…
