Hopefully nobody is going to notice many Labour politicians in Tower Hamlets have been jailed for housing fraud, or that 1000s of socially rented homes have been dismantled into the hands of luxury developers, or that Begum herself was given social housing in just 5 months...
Are we just gonna ignore all the housing fraud and corruption carried out by the current crop of Labour politicians and their crooked connections to luxury developers ripping apart the social housing in Tower Hamlets? Including Apsana Begum herself?

Do #BlackLivesMatter & @GrenfellUnited not take exception to @ApsanaBegumMP who helped systematically dismantle social housing into the hands of property developers & then jumped the housing queue because she "needed housing", co-opting your worthy causes? lovewapping.org/2020/01/deafen…
Why is a politician in an area so phenomenally corrupt so desperate to be seen to be part of the housing movement?

Why did she not stand up against the corruption & fraud in her party that has witnessed £billions of social housing dismantled?

@Homes4AllUK we need answers.
In the meantime, here's another story on the alleged corruption that landed @ApsanaBegumMP social housing in Tower Hamlets in just 5 months.

Stop giving platforms to crooks.

Apsana Begum recently appeared on a q&a panel for Dispossession: the Great Social Housing Swindle, exclusively for Labour Party members.

Here's the excerpt from Balfron Tower, co-produced by me.

How can housing activists justify giving her a platform?

Here is the tweet that is unavailable due to being blocked by academics who think that the social cleansing of working class communities is something to be proud of, such as @robbins_glyn of @LSECities.

These are the directors of @GuinnessHomes.

Each of these people has blood of NHS staff, bus drivers & key workers on their hands for keeping their construction sites open during #covid19 lockdown.

We will not forget their selfishness has led to the deaths of key workers.

Did you know the social cleansing of Teviot Estate in Poplar was supported & funded by #PrinceAndrew?

100+ garages annexed to build a #fashionhub, ahead of planned estate demolition, claiming 86% resident support, on a purpose built estate where flats cost up to £577 per week.

"The ballot concluded with residents giving a clear mandate to Poplar HARCA to proceed with the estate regeneration proposals – with a turnout of 81% and a positive majority of 86% of voters supporting the plans."

Nobody I spoke to was aware of this.

So, a massive THANKS to all the housing activists, community, Labour Party, journalists, academics & everybody else involved in another landgrab on social housing, that YOU ALL COMPLETELY IGNORED.

First comes the fashion hub, then comes the evictions, then the bulldozers.
Perhaps if Anna Minton & co had actually done any real community based work, instead of ripping off the work of others & doing deals with Harca, people like Gavin, featured in @paulsng's Dispossession wouldn't face being kicked out of their homes again. @PlacesJournal
