Faiza Shaheen says she is in a 'state of shock' after not being blocked from standing as a candidate in Chingford and Woodford Green.
Faiza Shaheen says she feels a "huge injustice has been done" after she was barred from standing as Labour candidate.
"I want to thank everyone that has been in touch lending their support. I feel that a huge injustice has been done, not just to me but to our community." Ms Shaheen, who narrowly lost to Sir Iain Duncan Smith in the same seat at the 2019 election, had earlier told BBC Newsnight she "thought" she was going to be the candidate for the constituency, but got an email on Wednesday evening that she said claimed she would "frustrate Labour’s purpose".
"Moreover, you can’t easily ignore them because those are not just random people. They tend to be friends or people who move in the same circles as you. Those people are mobilised by professional organisations."
