Begum to stand again
She doesn't mention Labour. And the pics aren't very Labour "specific". Not sure if we should read something in it or it is just a coincidence.

No. But her CLP voted for an open selection rather than automatic reselection. That was 2 years ago. The open selection never took place. In the meantime there were some internal and personal issues going on (including the involvement of her former husband who was a Tower Hamlet Cllr and whom she accused of harassment. He was later expelled from the party) |

It is fairly clear that she will be the official Labour candidate here.

Crick claims that there may be "a renewed deselection attempt".

Oh dear..
Haque is Begum's divorced husband.
The campaign can turn out quite nasty.

Are the 4 Begum’s who are his assentors any relation to the MP or just a popular surname?

'Begum' is probably the most common family name in Bangladesh. Very large proportion of people have it.

Bienfait should do well based entirely on nominative determinism.

'Begum' is probably the most common family name in Bangladesh. Very large proportion of people have it. It's not a family name at all. It's somewhere between a title and just a naming particle to form women's personal names. "Ms Apsana", "Lady Apsana", somewhere along those lines. And yes, veeeery common. |

It's somewhere between a title and just a naming particle to form women's personal names. "Ms Apsana", "Lady Apsana", somewhere along those lines. And yes, veeeery common. In any case, the idea of a family name is rather loosely interpreted in Bangladesh and among the diaspora. I would say that a majority of people have at least one name derived from their father in some way, but sometimes this is a conventional-looking surname and sometimes it is a patronymic as the last name and sometimes it is some other name entirely (as in the case of Sheikh Hasina, the daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman). Matters are complicated further still by the extremely common tendency to use in private life a name completely unrelated to the legal name, a concept that would be most familiar to westerners through Jhumpa Lahiri's Namesake. When I was a child, for a school project I was tasked with compiling a family tree. This was much more difficult for me than for my classmates, in part because I had two dozen cousins but mostly because my parents knew none of their government names. |
