We're Backing Ayub for Bethnal Green & Bow


I was born and bred in Tower Hamlets and I've spent my entire working life in the borough as well. Ayub is young, modern and committed. He will get everyone behind him at the next General Election.

"Out and About " in Weavers


Just a very quick post to show I have been canvassing BG&B Labour Party members for more nominations. I was brought up in the borough and thought that I knew the area really well. However, trying to “door knock” everyone has proved an interesting and energetic experience. I certainly don’t need to work out at my local gym anymore!

Ayub is a local boy made good. Despite leaving school aged 16 and becoming a machinist in a “sweat shop”, he was able to go on to Ruskin College, Oxford, and to later complete a Masters Degree. If it wasn’t for the Labour Party and trade unions, ordinary working people would never have had this opportunity. However, he hasn’t forgotten where he came from and he is passionate about inspiring and supporting present day East Enders, from all our communities, to follow him and educate themselves out of poverty.
