Mp Apsana will now collaborate with Corbyn?

July 25, 2024

Although she was not nominated by her party in the last election, she was given the nomination on the basis that she will win if she runs as an independent candidate. The current Prime Minister knows her as a close politician of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.Daily Dazzling Dawn had published the news before the election that her political career could be in danger after becoming an MP this time.

This British Bangladeshi MP is named among the most vocal Labour Party MPs on behalf of the people of Palestine. Going beyond the party policy, she has repeatedly spoken on behalf of the oppressed people of Palestine. What will Apsana Begum, the two-time MP elected by a large number of votes from London's predominantly Bangladeshi Poplar and Limehouse constituencies, do now? Apsana, daughter of the late Monir Uddin Ahmed, former councillor of Tower Hamlets and resident of Sunamganj's Jagannathpur upazila, rose in the politics of the Labour Party and was nominated for the first time by holding the hand of former party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
It remains to be seen how the 34-year-old MP copes with this challenge in her political career.  She is popular in the Bangladeshi community as she attends various events of the community.

In an attempt to dissuade her from rebelling over child benefits, British Bangladeshi MP Apsana has accused Sir Keir Starmer of "weaponizing" her status as a "survivor of domestic abuse."

In response to her disagreement with her ex-husband, Apsana Begum said that party officials threatened to withhold their support if she voted to waive the two-child cap.

The 34-year-old MP for Poplar and Limehouse made the accusation after she and six other left-wing Labour MPs were suspended by the party for endorsing an SNP proposal to expand payments to all children.

She was expelled from the Parliamentary Labour Party on Tuesday night due to the Commons revolt, along with former shadow chancellor John McDonnell, former shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey, Richard Burgon, Ian Byrne, Zarah Sultana, and Imran Hussain. 

"Support for me as a survivor of domestic abuse was contingent on how I was voting," Ms. Begum said in an interview with Times Radio. "I've just had to run in an election in which my ex-husband was standing against me, and feeling like my experiences were being weaponized against me in this situation during the whipping operation was absolutely shocking, and the fact that supporting me regarding my ex-husband was discussed in this context is completely unacceptable," she continued.
But it's known that Labour hasn't gotten any proof to support Ms. Begum's allegations. A representative for the party added, "We do not recognise these allegations."

With Sir Keir enjoying an enormous working majority of around 180, the overall result of the vote was never in doubt - with the Commons voted 363 to 103, majority 260, to reject the amendment. 

But the premier's brutal response of suspending the benefits rebels sparked an outcry in his own ranks.

Ms Sultana suggested that Sir Keir had treated the situation like a 'macho virility test'. She declared she had 'slept well' after voting to scrap the limits on handouts for big families.

She later told The News Agents podcast she had not spoken to the part leader in more than two years, and had been ignored when asking for a larger office with space to pray in.

The president of the TUC said the rebels 'spoke for millions of trade union members and many Labour Party members'. 

Jeremy Corbyn and four other independent MPs have written to the suspended MPs asking to work together, while a Corbynite campaign group branded the premier 'Sir Kid Starver' on social media.
