I door-knocked for Shaheen last election. There was real hope of an IDS upset. She, and volunteers, but fuck loads of effort into that campaign. The whole thing is so depressing.

Anything short of exemplary personal behaviour would result in public retribution & humiliation.” And here we are.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/mar/02/boris-johnson-white-privilege-black-woman

I remember this being a big upset as the margin was so thin!
IDS is abhorrent.
The only criticism I have of Shaheen is that she pandered to the anti-ULEZ crowd.
Is it a reason enough to not select her? Dont know.

Kemi and Kwasi, as much as I dislike them, are certainly in the same position as Diane, but without the history of competence and community engagement that she has as an mp, which would make you do a double take at their treatment.
But there is also a major class component (as in feeling closer to boris then Diane) with the majority of the black/asian conservative mps, which makes it difficult to sympathise with or generate support from the community for them. -

You wanna fact check that? This was the post she "liked" https://x.com/mehdirhasan/status/1795972940850167948

Well that's what I was asking, wasn't it. Also, this is the one she liked, from what that post says.
https://x.com/phl43/status/1789653035456643277
The problem is, she admits that she shouldn't have done it, that the post is problematic and doesn't remember liking it.
That said, all seems like a storm in a teacup. It's not something that should have her replaced as a candidate unless something else happened we don't know about.

Is it not just Starmer just trying to get his party as centrist as possible?
He's bricking it that a big majority will empower the left, and put him in the same situation as the Tories after Boris got them their 80+ majority. Different factions will feel they can rebel - because votes will get through anyway - but it will undermine him and the press will lap it up.
He's trying to get the party as streamlined as possible around a bang dead centre policy position - to try and avoid the messyness of a big majority with a broad range of views.
Clearly all this blocking/suspending of the prominent left leaning Labour candidates is going to piss a lot of people off - but will it make for more effective government? I could really do with our governing party not tearing itself to shreds and instead focus on trying to make things a bit better all round.
Centrist dad out.
