Effective today, I am resigning from the Labour Group on Peterborough City Council.
I feel as though I have sustained bullying and marginalisation within the group after raising serious concerns—concerns which, in my view, were not treated with the seriousness they deserved.
Following this, I was deeply disturbed to find myself accused of racism, with suggestions that I and my family were “targeting fellow Asian Labour councillors.” These accusations are completely unfounded and deeply hurtful. I have also raised a formal complaint regarding these matters, which has now been delayed twice, reportedly due to concerns about the political impact on the party, rather than a focus on justice or resolution.
In addition, I reported an antisemitic incident involving a prominent Labour Party supporter in Peterborough, which, to date, remains unaddressed.
These experiences have left me with no confidence that I can continue to serve residents as a member of the Labour Group, given the hostile environment I have faced simply for speaking out.
Moving forward, I will continue to represent my residents as an independent councillor. Without the constraints of the party whip, I will be free to vote solely in the best interests of my community, without pressure to conform to internal party agendas.
I remain fully committed to serving the people of my ward. However, if residents feel that I can no longer effectively represent them in this capacity, I will respect that view.

A great privilege to join today with veterans, their Majesties the King and Queen, serving members of the Armed Forces and the public to pay tribute to the millions of people across the UK and Commonwealth who served in the Second World War.
It was an honour to share this day with the Ukrainian armed forces currently fighting on the front line of freedom.

Today in the House of Commons, I spoke about the urgent need for a clear and credible roadmap for peace in Yemen.
Twenty-two million people in Yemen rely on humanitarian aid - half of them are children. This is one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises.
The UK must do more to support a lasting and sustainable peace.
