The "change they wanted to see" was property developer-led selling off of public land, and ordinary people didn't like it
This is true.
Momentum - which also consisted of 'local party members', in some cases members of 20-30 years - got their candidates elected instead.
But this isn't. Joseph Ejiofor wasn't elected, he was appointed in a private meeting. The constituency party members backed Zena Brabazon - who got more support than the other four candidates put together - but thanks to a Momentum takeover Ejiofor got appointed anyway.
I didn't agree with the selling off of the land but I also don't agree with Momentum takeovers and purges like they did in Haringey.

Zena Brabazon was one of the left-wing candidates who helped to get rid of Kober though, so I don't think this is a Momentum split issue, I think it's over personalities or local policy. Brabazon was definitely on the right side when it came to the HDV, along with most of the non-cabinet Labour members, and nearly everyone elsenin Haringey.

This is a quite significant misrepresentation of what happened in Haringey, where Claire Kober managed to unite almost everyone in politics in Haringey against a hugely unpopular development scheme which would have come at great detriment to local people.
