I'm trying to work out some notional ward results in London (I had most of the base data already prepared) but seats like this are going to present a challenge. The best approach seems to be to base the vote for the Independent candidate on the proportion of the population who identify as muslim. Doing this here has the Independent winning easily in Valentines and Cranbrook (the areas added from Ilford South, ie lacking any imcumbency vote for Streeting) with around 50% of the vote - neck and enck with Labour in Barkinside and Clayhall, a little way behind in Aldborough and well behind (and also begind the Tories) in Fulwell, Hainault, Fairlop. Obviously I expect Reform's vote to be quite concentrated in the latter two wards. Would this match with the impressions of those who campaigned here? I think you're 100% on the money here, which is why I believe Feinstein carried St Pancras & Somers Town ward because of the massive Bangladeshi population.

I didn't say it was, but if it has that result it will still be beneficial (to both Labour and himself) Btw there is an alternate reality where Hamas decide not to go on a murderous rampage on October 7th after their initial military success - this would not just have resulted in Bibi being toppled almost immediately (a good thing for the whole world) If Hamas had stuck only to military targets, even I would have been cheering them on Oct 8th. But that's clearly an alternate reality where they still had a sliver of moral grounding and weren't just a bunch of rabid wild animals. It's a shame...

The attack on the Israeli military positions was morally justifiable and both a tactical and strategic success. Had it not been for what came with it the humiliation of such a failure would have likely forced Bibi from office.

I can't see an alternative reality where October 7th didn't happen because it interrupted peace accords between Israel and Arabs nations. I can't see Hamas letting them happen without attempting to derail it.

Unfortunately their morality is grounded in passages from the Quran and Hadith which portray the atrocities they committed on October 7th as morally upstanding.[/pedant]

Can we move this discussion to the Israel thread, please? This thread is for people to apologise for ignoring my calls that this was going to be a three-figure majority.

This election has shown that in a not insignificant number of seats, Israel/Gaza *is* the crucial vote-determining issue. The Health Secretary could well be unseated by an Islamist at the next election. Given this pressure, will Streeting now approach issues such as HIV, gender dysphoria, and abortion in a way that is convenient for him electorally, but inappropriate for the LGBT (and country) as a whole??

Streeting might want to work on Labour's Muslim outreach here. The demographics of this seat are such that Streeting may well have lost this in an October election, notwithstanding reduction in the potency of the Gaza issue (actually, withstanding it, since a lot of Leanne's support was based on the view that this area *should* have a. muslim MP). By the next GE, this constituency could be over 40% Muslim. If I was Wes, I'd seriously consider a chicken run next time. Leanne wins in 2029, IMHO.

There are not that many openly gay Muslims (note that I'm not saying there aren't (many or) any gay muslims). As a revert myself, I could probably beat Streeting here. If Wes took shahada and converted, many would not accept him into the faith because he is out LGBT, I'm sorry to say. Many Muslims won't vote for a gay man. Does this result mean Streeting has the largest Muslim electorate of any out-of-the-closet LGBT MP in the country? How long has that been the case?

If this seat is that highly Muslim it’s interesting that it was a marginal with the Tories as recently as 2015. All the other heavily Muslim seats have tended to be safe Labour, with the obvious Gaza backlash coming into play at this election

All the other heavily Muslim seats have tended to be safe Labour, with the obvious Gaza backlash coming into play at this election 2011 census: 18% Muslim. That's why it was still easily winnable for the Conservatives in 2010, but isn't anymore. It was 31% Muslim in 2021. Plus boundary changes. This seat is about 10 years ahead (slightly more) of where Chingford & Woodford Green's demography (16% Muslim in 2021) might be going in the future.

I will credit you for getting so close to the actual result. Clearly, you tapped into the demographics of this particular seat well. I for one didn't think it would be this close, though I never thought WS would win big here.

Is Wesley in danger here? Independent candidate Leanne Mohammed is building up a good following, it's being reported. No, his majority will be over 50%. Crap takes I have done. Example one of many...

He should have run away from this bigoted constituency to Leyton, Kim Leadbeater smartly did the same thing in Batley even if the constituency she moved to was much less labour inclined on paper (Reform and the Tories both received 24% in her new constituency this election, so she’s probably going to be in trouble in 2029, but at least she can be a lesbian woman with opinions of her own without the threat of violence)

I do hope the new government gets a grip on this apparent emerging sectarianism and double quick.
