Sagal Abdi-Wali, the newly-elected MP for Holborn and St Pancras, was welcomed by Andy Burnham as she took her seat in Parliament after beating Zack Polanski in the crunch north London by-election.

MPs returned to the Commons on Monday after the break for the party political conferences.

Parliamentary business started in the Chamber shortly after 2.30pm.

Ms Abdi-Wali was hailed by dozens of Labour MPs in Parliament’s vast Westminster Hall where she took a selfie with the Prime Minister and her new colleagues.

Taking her seat in the Commons Chamber, she said: “I swear by almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors, according to the law, so help me God.”

She was accompanied to the despatch box by Labour MPs Natasha Irons (Croydon East) and Liam Conlon (Beckenham and Penge) who was the party’s political campaign chief for the by-election.

Ms Abdi-Wali, who as Camden Council leader, defeated Mr Polanski in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election last Thursday, took her seat in the afternoon.

She got 12,292 votes, ahead of Mr Polanski on 8,928, a majority of 3,364 but with a 13% swing to the Greens, whose vote share was up by 22.4%.

In third was Conservative Party candidate Ewan Cameron on 1,922, followed by Reform UK’s Peter Newman with 1,612.

Headline kinda buries the lede. A leftist Green candidate was ousted by a leftist electorate for not hating the Jews sufficiently. Labor likely now sees Jew hate as a successful path to wrestle some voters back from the Greens.

I am unfamiliar with the name Sagal Abdi-Wali. Is that one of the clans from the Highlands?

This is starting to occur here! People need to wake up, these people need to be removed from the USA or we will be in the same boat.
Their war includes becoming a majority by not only killing us but procreating at enormous levels.

“Abdi-Wali.” King Henry VIII was a punk who tried to move Englad away from the Catholic Church. Now look who is showing up in England: barbarians. Good job, Henry.

“these people need to be removed from the USA or we will be in the same boat.”

Right, you are. I hope Trump will start deporting them in big numbers after the midterms. He has already done a good job of greatly reducing the number who come in. Now if he will affirmatively start booting out those already here ....

I had a possible distant relative that got married in St. Andrews Holborn parish church in 1649 - possibly just prior to migrating to Virginia in the New World!

Zack Polanski is far worse, a self-hating Jew who has embraced Palestinianism. Also the head of the Green Party of England.
