Detectives are investigating after a 'horrible attack' on a Labour constituency office.
Police were called to Labour’s Chingford & Woodford Green office, in Hatch Lane shortly after 9.10am on June 1 to reports of graffiti on the property.
Shama Tatler, Labour candidate for Chingford, retweeted a post by journalist Rachael Burford on X which showed "Lobby Israel" among words scrawled in black across the door and windows.
The Kingsbury councillor, who leads regeneration, planning, and growth in Brent, said: “This shameful vandalism is not just an attack on our campaign - it's an attack on our whole community.
"Together, we will defeat the forces of hatred and antisemitism and take our positive message of change to residents here."
