On 14 July 2016, Bradford girl Samia Shahid flew to Pakistan to visit her family. 6 days later she was found dead.
Two years ago, Salma Yaqoob ran against me in Bradford West, a campaign that drove me to feeling suicidal. Now she wants to run for West Midlands Metro Mayor.
I think @UKLabour members have a right to know what happened in 2017. THREAD /1
All my life I’ve campaigned against patriarchy and I stand on a platform of reform. Here I wasn't the "most Muslim"
