Corbyn Starts Work On Forming New Top Team

    Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will today begin the task of assembling a shadow cabinet - in the face of deep divisions over his radical left wing policies. Less than 24 hours after his resounding win in the leadership contest, six shadow cabinet ministers have resigned with others tipped to follow. Mr Corbyn, 66, the long-standing MP for Islington North, has promised half of the new top team will be women. Announcements are expected over the next 48 hours as Mr Corbyn prepares for his first appearance before the Parliamentary Labour Party in the Commons on Monday. The scale of his victory among party members as well as trade unionists and new-found supporters - he won almost 60% of the 422,664 votes cast - has muted talk of a bid by disgruntled moderates to oust him. But the...

Music of Hason Raja

    Film Maker Ruhul Amin has just returned to London after spending three months in Mumbai with the Bollywood Music director Bappi Lahiri. In their collaboration they have managed to create a unique musical sensation in the history of Bengali music. It is an intricate blend between Western and Indian classical with the added magic of Bengali folk tradition. While some of the songs are uncompromisingly heart-rending, the others have the earth trembling quality which will definitely rock people. Ruhul Amin has pushed Bappi Lahiri to pull all the stops out to produce such an unparalleled example in the history of Bengali popular music. The melody and the orchestration stay true to the sentiment of Hason Raja, but re-arrange them in a spectacular way. All together 11 songs h...

Hate crimes against Muslims in London up by 70% as police figures show

    The Met's statistics record a total of 816 Islamophobic hate crimes in the 12 months to July 2015, up from 478 over the same period in 2013-14.

Labour and Tory Councillors agreed to spend in Tower Hamlets: Chief Exef: £200,000, 237 community organisations: £0

    Tower Hamlets Labour and Tory Councillors united in the last week of August and agreed to spend up to £200,000 a year employing an additional senior officer. Just weeks after 237 community organisations learned that John Biggs’s Administration did not have enough money to give them grants to run vital services. Why did Tower Hamlets Council have to appoint a Chief Executive? By law, Councils are required to have a “Head of Paid Service”, who takes on certain statutory functions. These functions are often taken on by an officer called “chief executive” – but they do not have to be. In Tower Hamlets, the head of paid service functions have been taken on by various senior officers since the last Chief Executive left. Lutfur Rahman’s Administration did not fill the post of Chi...

Double standards

    John Biggs and Tory Leader Peter Golds unite to back candidate Labour and Tory councillors appoint candidate who is under police nvestigation. Independent councillors abstain following last minute release of shock information. On Wednesday evening (26th August), John Biggs stood up in full Council and asked councillors to appoint as Chief Executive of Tower Hamlets a candidate who is under investigation by the Metropolitan Police. Let’s be straight from the start. Being investigated by the Metropolitan Police is not a sign of guilt. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. There is no reason to suppose that Mr Will Tuckley will emerge from this investigation with anything other than a ringing endorsement that he is innocent. Let their police do their job, and we will all ...

Mayor Candidate Jeremy Corbyn under fire over tragedy of Osama bin Laden killing

    Jeremy Corbyn under fire over 'tragedy' of Osama bin Laden killing Jeremy Corbyn has come under fire for saying it was a "tragedy" that Osama bin Laden was killed by the United States rather than being put on trial. The Labour leadership frontrunner made the remarks shortly after the 2012 special forces raid on the al Qaida chief's Pakistan compound in which he and four others were shot dead. In an interview for Iranian television, he suggested the assassination of the September 11 attacks' mastermind would result in deeper unrest. It is the latest in a series of past comments and associations that the veteran left-winger has been forced to defend since emerging as the surprise favourite to succeed Ed Miliband. In a clip from the Press TV show The Agenda, Mr Corbyn is hear...

Corbyn’s Falklands plan tantamount to surrender to Argentina, warns veteran

    Simon Weston has called Jeremy Corbyn's Falklands plan "repugnant surrender" Jeremy Corbyn has been accused by veteran Simon Weston of "repugnant surrender" to Argentina for suggesting it should be given the right to jointly govern the Falklands Mr Corbyn, who opposed the invasion, said that there has to be a move towards "real peace" and that Britain must open a "dialogue" with Argentina over the future of the islands. He said that under the arrangement the Falklands could retain their British nationality while a joint administration is put in place. The comments were severely criticised by Mr Weston, who suffered 46 per cent burns after the RFA Sir Galahad was bombed during the 1982 conflict. Mr Weston said: "It is a repugnant idea. I don't see why it should happen given...

Mother And Four Children May Be Going To Syria

    Police are hunting for a missing mother and her four children who are feared to be travelling to Syria, Scotland Yard said. The woman and her children - aged four to 12 - are believed to have left the country on Tuesday via London City Airport on a flight to Amsterdam. The woman, 33-year-old Zahera Tariq, was last seen earlier that day at her home in Waltham and has not been heard from since. A family member alerted police on Wednesday. Commander Richard Walton, from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command, said he was concerned for Ms Tariq and her children. "Whilst we do have some concerns that Zahera may be thinking of travelling to Syria, there is no current information to suggest that she's already travelled there," he said. The family left for Amsterdam and might be trav...
