    absolutely spot on.

    Labour have brought this upon themselves and she has every right to run for a seat she has worked tirelessly to win for years. She has raised serious issues about islamophobia and bullying within the party, which was then used as a reason to deselect her which is beyond the pale, serious issues which are now being swept under the carpet.

    For context Shaheen used to work in this Greggs. These are the kind of people she is referring to in the Labour party when she refers to her experiences of systematic bullying.

  • Honestly, this is just politics. Generally the only times it's worth shifting around your MPs are by-elections and GE. The GE is obviously the main one because by giving someone a winnable seat they can become an MP in the majority party.

    You can then also reward them for loyalty, which helps with your high level strategy for government.

    Unfortunately this is just the way real life works.
