A tongue-in-cheek look at another Tower Hamlets first, where the Tower Hamlets Labour Group is campaigning against the Labour Party. Exploring the possible reasons.
They came, they saw, they conquered?

Picture this: a wild tale of individuals hitching a ride on the rollercoaster of a political movement, soaring to positions of authority with the movement’s momentum. But hold onto your seats, folks, because once they grasped power’s sweet embrace, they shamelessly turned their weapons against their own movement. And no, we’re not talking about a mind-bending Ridley Scott flick where Joachim Phoenix channels Napoleon and blasts away the French Revolutionaries with canons in a twisted plot.
Oh no, dear readers, we’re plunging head first into the surreal world of Tower Hamlets Labour Group’s leadership. These characters have now endorsed and joined forces with a group that actively campaigned against the Labour Party. Can you believe it? This group even advise residents to give Labour the cold shoulder and vote it down. Talk about justice gone haywire in the heart of Tower Hamlets! Introducing Justice THCH.
In this mind-boggling saga, the lines between friend and foe are blurred, and loyalty is tossed out the window like yesterday’s trash. It’s a topsy-turvy journey that leaves us scratching our heads, wondering what is happening on Earth. Strap yourselves in, folks, because this ride will make your jaw drop and your mind spin faster than a politician’s promise during election season. Hold onto your hats and let the madness unfold!
A brief history of Justice THCH and the Labour Party
Alright, buckle up, folks, ’cause I’ve got a wild tale to tell you about my encounters with Justice THCH and the crazy election campaign of 2022. It all started when I was lending a helping hand to Cllr Shad Chowdhury and candidate Nazma Hussain. Now, let me take you back even further to when I wasn’t even a councillor yet, but Shad and Nazma’s husband, Ala Uddin, had my back. They supported me during my Labour Party campaigns and even during the epic #SAVEBRICKLANE struggle against Trumans and their alleged paid agents. So, when it was their turn to run for office, I was there for them, introducing them to local activists and rallying the troops in the area.
Everything was going swell, until that fateful week right before the election. Justice THCH, with the sneaky help of a local football club, decided to unleash a leaflet frenzy against Shad and the whole Labour gang. They referenced #SAVEBRICKLANE campaign without talking to the campaign. They targeted the council estates, including the ones managed by THCH, blaming the Labour Party for all the mismanagement woes. A political party apparently controls a private housing provider, huh? And guess what? It actually made an impact, with Shad losing his seat by a measly 50 odd votes. Can you believe it?
Now, here’s where things take a bizarre turn. After the elections, I did some serious digging, and boy, did I uncover a juicy secret. It turns out that the mastermind behind Justice THCH, sitting in the ‘Pret A Manger’ in Aldgate. It was none other than a Shadwell local, living in Foley House, who happened to be buddies with a former neighbour tied to a Labour Party MP selection and directed by them. Alleged rumour has it that Shad became the target because he openly supported someone else in that power struggle.
Hold on tight, ’cause here’s the mind-boggling twist. We’re talking about members of the local Labour Party actively campaigning against their own party! Yeah, you heard it right. These sneaky buggers, allegedly, launched and directed a full-blown anti-Labour crusade, pretending to be all against the party and even telling people not to vote for ’em. And why, you ask? Well, it seems like it was all a sneaky ploy by one faction within the party to take down another faction they didn’t fancy. Can you believe the audacity?
So, there you have it, folks. A wild tale of power plays, deceit, and good ol’ political backstabbing. Strap in, ’cause this ain’t your typical political drama. It’s a Napoleonic rollercoaster ride through the murky depths of local politics. All for 86,584 material reasons.
Vanguards of the Revolution?: The Tower Hamlets Labour Group campaigning against the Labour Party?
“A l’exemple de Saturne, la révolution dévore ses enfants”
(“like Saturn, the Revolution devours its children,”)
Jacques Mallet du Pan, (1749-1800)
Alright, strap in for the new ride! It’s 2023, and brace yourself because the freakin’ pop-up campaign, Justice THCH, is back in action. But get this, they now have the audacity to buddy up with the leadership of the Tower Hamlets Labour Group, the same folks who supposedly fight against the Labour Party. What? It’s like a twisted circus, my friend. Labour vs Labour, an acrimonious divorce trial being played in public.
Guess who’s in the crosshairs this time? Yup, another bunch of poor souls within the Labour Party is about to get mercilessly hammered by this hit job and anyone else in their ways?. And who pays the price? The hard-working, dues-paying members of the Labour Party, along with the poor souls who call the East End their home. Their real issues, the stuff that actually matters, have been transformed into a damn internal football match. It’s all thanks to these power-hungry Napoleon wannabes strutting around the East End like they own the place. Madness, I tell ya! Absolute madness!
First we had #Ohidgate, now, Vive la révolution!
