One user on social media had the following to say: “The state of the Labour Party in Barking and Dagenham. Putting posters on the wall whilst attaching them to Gravestones. Darren Rodwell, Leader of the Labour Party in Barking and Dagenham and standing to be the MP for Barking, was seen tying the banner up himself.”

“If it was anyone else they would have been arrested. An absolute disgrace.”

Darren Rodwell has not released any comments or public statement at this time.
