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?
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.
These are the directors of @GuinnessHomes.

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.
