After weeks of campaigning in the safe Labour seat of Ilford South, Sam Tarry failed to see off a challenge from the leader of Redbridge council, Jas Athwal. Mr Tarry was sacked from Labour’s front bench after giving broadcast interviews from an RMT picket line earlier this year. Wes Streeting, the party’s shadow health secretary and MP for Ilford North, was among the first to offer congratulations to Mr Athwal. “I look forward to working with Jas as Ilford South’s next Labour MP.”
