Fury over ‘shameful’ anti-Israel graffiti daubed across Labour Party office in north-east London – as Met Police launch hunt for vandals

A Labour party office in northeast London has been covered in anti-Israel graffiti with the Met Police launching a hunt for the vandals. 

The party’s Chingford and Woodford Green HQ was defaced yesterday with the message ‘Israel Lobby Out. Work 4 Us. UK MPs Work For UK. Not Israel’ scrawled across the office’s windows.

Passersby first noticed the graffiti on Saturday morning.

Images posted on X, formerly Twitter, showed people working to remove the graffiti yesterday afternoon.

The incident was soon reported to the Met and an investigation is underway.

‘Officers are investigating. There has been no arrest.

‘Anyone with information is asked to call 101 or Crimestoppers, quoting CAD 2106/01jun.’

Shama Tatler, Labour’s Parliamentary Candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green, 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 in Chingford and Woodford Green.’
