The article where @siennamarla states “the only Muslim staffer in Labour’s governance and legal unit,” led to my sacking.

Sienna did not talk to me about using my identity or even for my opinion. A group of white powerful “lefties” did. 1/5

Another worked against me, was this tweet.

False racialised allegations that I leaked the the investigation to the media, though I was the victim of Islamophobia - by both sides.

This info was actually provided to @OwenJones84 by white people with power on the left. Not me. 2/5
An example of how Black & brown people are used - our identities are monopolised by white people in power.

Where the left kept using my identity to bash the right without actually helping me with racism.

And the right creating false allegations because of my identity. 3/5
The least both @siennamarla and @OwenJones84 could do to right their wrongs is share their views about #LabourFiles

It shouldn’t be that my voice is only heard if it only goes through the white left. Here is my voice loud and clear. 👇🏾 4/5.

The briefings came the day I returned to work after a month of sick leave.

I was ill dealing with Newham, knowing TP was unsuspended, with Palestine, & half of my BAME colleagues being fired + more.

Suspended straight after my return, imagine where my mind went after 😣🔫. 5/5

Solidarity to @mmehmood73 and all the people of Newham.
I tried everything I could internally under the left and the right to raise concerns about what was happening in there.
I was leading a team of investigators, when I instructed the team to look at the whole of Newham 🧵1/4
Not just those mentioned in the dossier, I.e. Muslims and South Asians.

To provide a thorough report on the wrongful decision to suspend Newham, by considering the allegations submitted by those named and stalked in the dossier.

I was pushed off the case by management. 2/4
Legitimate complaints by members of Newham, who were seen as “infiltrators.” Weren’t considered but the dossier in its full criminality was acted upon immediately.

Newham was one of the many reasons why I knew I could never sign an NDA.
I will elaborate more in due course. 3/4
