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.

Presumably the HDV became ultra-toxic post Grenfell?
Or was it always that way? Usually with these things it's only the immediately affected who don't like the sound of their homes being demolished (funny that), most 'normal' folks will tell you they don't like the sound of it but are hardly likely to die in a ditch to stop it. It's interesting that in this case more seem to have mobilised against it.
This is true.
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.
