Newham Independents are looking to the future, Labour and their careerist MPβs are not what we need for West Ham and Beckton. We need an MP whose only priority is local people and not what their party leader says. #VoteSophia π https://t.co/8aWkxb0XL5

Lyn Brown has made a wise decision, local people have had enough of Labour and the candidate who replaces her will have a very tough general election campaign ahead. Newham historically has been a safe Labour area that is about to change. #VoteIndependents π https://t.co/tfF4i16Gdm
NEW: Labour MP for West Ham, Lyn Brown is standing down. https://t.co/HGX6rUgqlq
A glowing endorsement of @lynbrownmp below, this is the level of service that the beleaguered residents of West Ham have had to put up with for decades. On the 4th July the good people of Stratford and Bow need to give Lyn Brown her P45. #VoteIndependent #ChangeIsComing https://t.co/K6IPXMRCJ5
