The East End at its best has always been a place of courage, decency, integrity and solidarity. I’m proud to have grown up here and I am standing to be the MP for this area because I am passionate about improving the lives of local people who live and work here. I will work hard for the interests of this community. I'll fight for:
- Streets where we can all feel safe
- More and better jobs for local people
- Decent and affordable homes for the whole community
- Schools that are the best in London
- A fairer deal for pensioners
- A reduction of the crippling health inequalities in our area
I am asking for your support so that we can put this vision into practice. You can help by:
- Joining me at my regular campaign sessions to find out about local issues and to support local residents
- Signing up to my e-newsletter and inviting your friends to join my campaign
- Delivering leaflets and phoning local residents
- Making a donation to my campaign
With your help, together we can defeat George Galloway’s Respect party and win this seat back.

Rushanara Ali met with the Foreign Secretary David Miliband to discuss the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and plans for a permanent and meaningful peace in the region.
She said “I, along with many residents of Bethnal Green and Bow, am concerned that the people of Gaza continue to suffer as a result of the Israeli military action. I am aware that the British Government has provided a great deal humanitarian relief, but I stressed to the Foreign Secretary the desperate need to sustain and expand this effort. We must do everything within our powers to provide the people of Gaza with the food, medicine, clothing and money they need to help stop the humanitarian crisis."
