Labour crisis intensifies as 'racist' candidate picked Meanwhile, in another safe London seat, party members resign over blocking of popular black candidate by richardsudan FordeReport Barking LabourFiles CamberwellandPeckham
Meanwhile, in another safe London seat, party members resign over blocking of popular black candidateTHE ANTI-BLACK racism crisis encircling Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour escalated as a white man who indulged in sickening racial stereotypes on stage at a Black History Month event was picked as a candidate in a safe seat.
Darren Rodwell was selected as Labour candidate to fight Barking at the next general election despite promoting racist black caricatures by taking to stage dressed in African garb claiming he had “the passion for the rhythm of the African and the Caribbean”. Rodwell issued an apology and denied he is racist, and is now on course to represent a constituency with a sizeable black population.
“We will not sign off on a fraudulent process and, unless a fair process is initiated instead, the outcome and legitimacy of the selected candidate will always be compromised.”CONTRAST: Maurice Mcleod was blocked from becoming MP in the safe Labour seat of Camberwell and Peckham “There are a number of selections for key Parliamentary seats now starting, with high profile BAME left-wingers standing. The pressure is now on the Party to treat these people fairly.”: “Racism must be taken seriously by the Labour Party. There should be zero tolerance. That anybody elected to office in the Labour Party would think it okay to conduct themselves in this way, at a Black History Month Event of all places, is beyond me.
