DIVEST PUBLIC FUNDS FROM ISRAEL: WHAT HAPPENED AT REDBRIDGE COUNCIL ON 24 SEPTEMBER

Redbridge Independents, the official opposition to the Labour-led Council, called for the Council’s pension fund to divest from investments connected to Israel.

We were supported by the Green Party @RedbridgeGreens. Our position was simple: public money should not be invested in companies or states implicated in serious violations of international law and the genocide in Gaza.

Labour rejected our approach. Instead, they replaced it with a watered-down call for “responsible investment”, without committing to full divestment.

Our amendments were also rejected.

We therefore refused to support a motion that, in our view, fell far short of the action required.

Later in the meeting, RI Leader Cllr Marwan Elfallah was prevented by the Labour Chair from speaking on other matters, including Broadmead Bridge, a major project with significant implications for taxpayers.

In protest at what we regarded as an unacceptable restriction on legitimate democratic scrutiny, Redbridge Independent councillors left the chamber.

Whatever our political differences, opposition councillors must be able to scrutinise major decisions, challenge the administration and speak on matters affecting the residents they represent.

That is what an opposition is there to do.

Redbridge Independents will continue to challenge the administration, scrutinise its decisions and make sure residents have a strong voice in Town Hall.

After years of one-party dominance, accountability matters more than ever.

WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED.

🎉 A fantastic day at Punjabi Fest! 🎉

It was wonderful to see Mayfield School come alive as the local community gathered to celebrate Punjabi culture, music, food and heritage. ❤️

From delicious desi street food and shopping stalls to live entertainment, Punjabi mascots and family activities, there was something for everyone.

But the best part was seeing people of different backgrounds and generations coming together, celebrating the rich culture and diversity that makes Redbridge such a special place.

A huge thank you to the organisers, volunteers, performers, stallholders and everyone who helped make Punjabi Fest such a vibrant and enjoyable community event. 🙌

Great culture. Great community. Great day! 🎶

@MarwanElfallah @redbridgelabour I was told Labour frantically put something together haphazardly to prevent Independents putting forward a robust motion! Pathetic by Labour…
