This is my constituency and I will be voting for Akhmed Yaqoob. I have seen nearly 30 years of labour and broken promises and pledges later this area has deteriorated to what its become now. Clearly they dont care, the labour mp is anonymous and easily swayed by the labour whip to vote for more wars. Labour have bankrupted our city and they represent everything that is wrong and part of the problem. We need real change and only through change can things really improve. Many might not like Ahmed Yaqoob and thats their prerogative but hes competent, he has a propensity for success and only voting for him can we experience real change. Einstein said it best - the definition of insanity is doing the something over and over again and expecting a different result. Voting for labour will indeed be insanity.

[@hannahmaria6887]

What are you on about? Have you seen the background of some mps? Some MP’s are millionaire when they enter government but because they are in positions on power, they can make even more money! Just look at the increase in wealth of Jacob Rees Mogg, Rishi Sunak etc. during their time in government. This guy is a defence lawyer. He literally makes money off murderers, rapists, pedophiles. I know defence lawyers is a necessity for a fair democracy. But you REALLY think a defence lawyer is a pinnacle of morality? You think he wouldn’t sell out “the morally right” choice, for money? Anyways, he’s lost now so I hope he can just go back to being a lawyer.

They are more likely to speak the truth and be blunt than your colonial buddies. We need to snap out of this inferior complex we suffer from. Our parents had this issue in the 70's upto now.

I've come to the conclusion that he's a weirdo. “ 70 per cent of hell will be women.” is a quote of his. There's more: "It’s natural for men to be attracted to females, so keep our queens at home.” Hell no. "The Muslim Women’s Network UK said it was “deeply disturbed by the misogynistic comments”. It urged all women to check candidates’ positions on issues including violence against women and girls (VAWG) and equality."
