“You want me to p*** on your face?” – right-wing Labour Newham councillor asks woman

A right-wing Labour councillor in the London borough of Newham has been accused of asking a woman last night, “you want me to piss on your face?” in the midst of a heated debate after she or someone nearby accused him of hiding in the toilets from anti-genocide activists.

Cllr Anamul Islam was caught on video making what appears to be the comment of which he has been accused, although the audio quality is not good:

Challenges from Newham locals

The incident happened as Labour right-winger and MP Lucy Powell, who hopes to be the party’s next deputy leader, went to the borough to pitch for local members’ votes. A group of vocal Palestine solidarity activists and Newham Independents arrived at the venue to challenge Powell and her supporters over the Starmer government’s collaboration in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

Independent Tahir Mirza criticised Islam’s behaviour and Labour’s tactics, and appeared to deride the Starmeroids’ constant excuse for rigging selections that they ‘only want quality candidates’, before predicting that Newham will eject Labour at the next elections:

So this is what Labour stands for? The ex-whip of Newham Labour used vile, derogatory language to a lady activist right in front of a police officer and an entire crowd. And that’s your standard, Keir Starmer?

Newham has rejected Labour, it’s time to pack up the dirty tricks. Bringing in councillors from Tower Hamlets and Barking & Dagenham won’t save you. People are fed up with Labour still supplying arms to Israel, and your Deputy Leader hopeful fully complicit. Enough is enough.
