Mr Tarry is the first for a decade.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It comes after he was fired from his role as a shadow transport minister in the summer after backing striking rail workers who brought the UK to a halt and visiting them on a picket line.<\/p>\n<p>Wes Streeting, the shadow health secretary and MP for neighbouring Ilford North, was among the first to offer congratulations to Mr Athwal.<\/p>\n<p>The Labour moderate, a critic of Corbybnistas, praised his &#8216;resounding victory&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/10\/10\/23\/wire-63322115-1665439475-984_634x895.jpg\" height=\"895\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Sam Tarry was sacked from Labour&#8217;s front bench after giving broadcast interviews from an RMT picket line earlier this year<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/10\/11\/06\/63329889-11301009-image-a-29_1665466742814.jpg\" height=\"597\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner and Sam Tarry who are in a relationship with each other<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/10\/11\/06\/63329925-11301009-image-a-30_1665466749980.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jas Athwal, the Leader of Redbridge London Borough Council, will now stand to be MP<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2022\/10\/11\/08\/63332115-11301009-image-a-1_1665475012827.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Wes Streeting, the shadow health secretary and MP for neighbouring Ilford North, was among the first to offer congratulations to Mr Athwal.

His is an Ilford story \u2013 the boy who came from the Punjab and built an education, successful businesses, and a wonderful family here,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He&#8217;s led Redbridge Labour to three unprecedented victories because he&#8217;s a local resident who fights as hard for our community as he would for his own family.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I look forward to working with Jas as Ilford South&#8217;s next Labour MP.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mike Gapes, who represented Ilford South until 2019, when he quit Labour to join Change UK, also welcomed the decision by quoting Tony Blair&#8217;s 1997 election claim: &#8216;A new dawn has broken, has it not?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>He tweeted: &#8216;Congratulations to Jas Athwal. As a local Ilford South resident I am pleased that you will be the Labour candidate at the next election. And we may once again have an MP who lives in the constituency. Well done.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tarry was sacked from Labour&#8217;s front bench after giving broadcast interviews from an RMT picket line earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>At the time Miss Rayner said Sir Keir Starmer was well &#8216;within his rights&#8217; to take action.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The vote came after his local constituency branches opted to trigger full reselection proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tarry had described himself as &#8216;very humbled and excited&#8217; ahead of Monday&#8217;s hustings.<\/p>\n<p>He told the LabourList website after his defeat: &#8216;I&#8217;m incredibly disappointed in this result, mostly for all my committed volunteers and the wonderful people of Ilford South.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I intend to issue a further statement tomorrow on the process and outcome.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tarry\u00a0was fired in August\u00a0after joining striking RMT rail workers in London and carrying out a number of media interviews.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sir Keir had repeatedly warned frontbenchers to stay away from pickets in order to be seen as a responsible party capable of governing.<\/p>\n<p>But the firing sparked a furious row between unions and the party hierarchy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Militant bosses threatened to pull their funding and use their weight to alter party rules to force Labour to embrace workers planning a summer of discontent. However, no such action materialised at the party conference last month.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11301009\/Sam-Tarry-selected-Labour-candidate.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Labour civil war reignites as Corbynista Sam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":165141,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23056],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
