DENT COAD TO REPORT LIB DEM CANDIDATE TO THE COPS

Labour’s general election candidate for Kensington and Chelsea has said she will report her Tory renegade Liberal Democrat rival to the police, alleging he made a false statement implying she had a role, as a local councillor, in discussing the flammable cladding used on Grenfell Tower.

Emma Dent Coad said Sam Gyimah’s claims were “shameful” and accused him of whipping up false rumours that could lead to her being the target of violence.


She has given him several days to withdraw his comments and a complaint to the Metropolitan police under the Representation of the People Act would be issued later on Sunday.

  1. This is a case of the pot calling the kettle "black"

    In the circumstances, a difficult case for the police to pursue

    I have read elsewhere that Emma Dent Coad has received violent threats following Sam Gyimah's comments. Before I develop this point any further, I would just like to say that threats of violence made to ANYONE are despicable and totally unacceptable. Any decent, civilised, person will recoil in horror at threats of violence.

    However, Sam Gyimah is not responsible for the conduct of anyone who has made threats to Emma, her volunteers and supporters. I do not believe that by saying what he did he incited anyone to issue the threats that Emma has received.

    By reporting Sam Gyimah to the police, rather than reporting the threat itself, Emma has undoubtedly raised the temperature of her denials about any involvement in the refurbishment of Grenfell- without wishing to appear cynical this is a dramatic way to make a point to the electorate.

    I think it was unwise of Emma Dent Coad MP to give Sam Gyimah MP an ultimatum saying that if he failed to withdraw his remarks about her involvement in the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower by Sunday that she would report him to the police. Making threats is never a good idea in negotiations or when in dispute with anyone - particularly a dispute with a political opponent during an election campaign. To issue the threat that Sam Gyimah would suffer the detriment of being reported to the police unless he did what Emma Dent Coad requested could be regarded as bullying; possibly blackmail. Emma clearly believes that Sam's comment was untrue and she is entitled to ask for an apology and for the comment to be corrected. She could have still reported Sam to the police if he failed to comply with her request and apologise.

  5. From the Minutes of the RBK&C Housing Committee November 2012

    “Councillor Dent Coad praised the refurbishment of Grenfell Tower which she felt showed the Council had listened to those residents.”

  7. Emma knows how to work the patch - and of course is doing so. Brilliantly.

  8. Emma is artful. She wants to create a stir in the hope that it gets commented on in the press. She hopes that the publicity surrounding these outbursts of anger and indignation will impress voters.

    Time will tell if people see through her or are taken in.

  9. She's misguided. Difficult to see her actions in an optimistic light.

    The WRP is standing in Kensington. They are proper Trotskyite socialists unlike today's revisionist Labour Party. The WRP will mobilise Grenfell people and all of the middle class socialist intellectuals in their Holland Park and Notting Hill salons many of whom have traditionally voted Labour, people like the late Tony Benn.

    The Libs Dems will pick up Tory Remain voters and Labour Remainers who are unhappy with Corbyn on Brexit.

  11. WRP are very stinky....bad breath and the stench of failure. They came canvassing and I sent them packing with a dose of air freshener....utter failures that's why they have never won a sear

      Sounds like you are being personal rather political. Criticise their politics not their personal hygiene. When I look at pictures of Corbyn when he was younger with that unkempt beard and that old brown jacket that he used to wear, I am ashamed to say that I thought he needed a good wash. Mind you Vanessa Redgrave was in the WRP and she always looked well scrubbed.

  12. Socialist in search of the holy grail.19 November 2019 at 13:50

    The WRP only tend to get around 30 votes in any constituency in which they put up a candidate. There are very few proper socialists nowadays. The WRP do not consider Labour, New or Corbynista, socialist and they are not wrong about that.

    The WRP do not believe in parliamentary democracy so it is very surprising that they are contesting the seat. When you think about Emma only won the 2017 election by twenty votes. Let's face it, voting WRP will damage Labour, not the Tories, not the Lib Dems, just Labour.

  13. Am I being thick?19 November 2019 at 15:11

    A right thinking person believes that criminal offences should be reported to the police.

    Emma Dent Coad said she would not report Sam Gyimah to the police if he withdrew the remark by her specified deadline.

    It is either right to report someone to the police or it is not. The threat of violence that Emma received is truly appalling and should have been reported to the police. But to correlate Gyimah's remark with the threat and to make reporting the situation to the police conditional on Sam Gyimah dancing to Emma Dent Coad's tune is very concerning.

  14. And voting Lib Dem will damage both the Labour and Tory Parties in Kensington.

    Is Corbyn Prime Ministerial material when he refuses to state his personal position on Brexit? Of course, Kensington, a strong remain community, is not going to be impressed by Corbyn's position on Brexit.

    Is Johnson's hard Brexit going to go down well in Kensington. Of course not.

  15. Looks like another PR opportunity and the perfect excuse to get out there and publicise her non involvement in KCTMO Board - the elephant in the room.

    What was it she said about Shane Bailey?

    Kettles!

    Reply to Little Voice,

    Emma Dent Coad DITHERED for four long years when she was a Director of the TMO. She was told by the many not the few that the TMO was a catastrophic disaster.

    So why did Emma Dent Coad join with the Tories and support the Tenant Management Organisation; an organisation that brought nothing but misery to the lives of tenants.

  17. Emma Dent Coad MP and Jeremy Corbyn MP visited Grenfell Tower after the fire.

    Jeremy Corbyn said to a survivor,

    "Emma is your MP, she will speak out."

    ReplyDelete
  18. Emma was on the TMO Board from 2008 to 2012.

    During that time, she knew that the TMO made Council tenants suffer. She knew that the TMO was toxic, incompetent and venal.

    Did she care? We know that she created maximum impact when she reported Sam Gyimah to the police.

    Will Emma be honest and tell us why she did not create a similar situation of maximum impact in the press about the TMO between 2008 and 2012 when she had first hand knowledge of the situation?

    Corbyn agreed with Johnson last night that honesty is important

  19. Emma Dent Coad told BBC Radio London this morning that Corbyn came across well in the televised debate with the Prime Minister last night.

    When Jeremy Corbyn referred to Jeffrey Epstein he deliberately pronounced "Epstein" differently to everyone in the media who has ever referred to this man. I am sure his motivations for doing this were to emphasis that Epstein was Jewish.

    Corbyn always referred to Ronald Reagan as "Raygan" because that is how the former president of the United States pronounced his name. Why should Corbyn be different to everyone else in the world who has ever referred to Jeffrey Epstein. Nasty.

  20. EDC's Twitter feed refers to the legal advice that she has received from John Cooper about Sam Gyimah's remarks. I hope that Gyimah is not affected too much by Emma Dent Coad trying to put the frighteners on by keeping this matter on the boil.

    I remember the TMO intimidating Grenfell Tower residents; which was not the TMO's finest hour.

  21. Now let's get this straight23 November 2019 at 10:24

    Emma Dent-Coad was on that TMO Board for four years. It is no good her telling the world everything that was wrong with the TMO after 72 people lost their lives in a horrific fire. In these circumstances, I am not surprised that Sir Martin Moore Bick did not grant her core participant status.

    Emma Dent Coad should have told the world everything that was wrong with the TMO whilst she was on the TMO Board. If she had done the right thing sooner, Grenfell may never have happened. But she did not try to do the right thing, she was very keen to secure the TMO's future in running Council flats.

  22. Don't rock the boat too much,23 November 2019 at 14:07

    I always got the impression, when she spoke to me, that she was keen on the TMO continuing with its role in managing Council Housing.

    She didn't rock the boat too much because she knew that the TMO was sinking.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The trouble with Emma Dent Coad when she was on the TMO is she always knew best. So our Emma, a Labour Councillor with Marxist leanings, supported the Tory TMO. She always sided with the Tory Council and nothing ever improved. Council tenants were led a dance by the TMO and Emma did not shout about this as loudly as she is now shouting about Sam Gyimah.

    Dear Dame,

    How can Emma Dent Coad MP, an upper middle-class white woman, possibly understand the hurt that she caused Black people when she displayed a picture of a Black political opponent being hanged.
