A LABOR MP and close ally of Jeremy Corbyn has been charged with housing fraud.
Apsana Begum, 30, entered Parliament in last December’s general election with a large majority of 28,904 in Poplar and Limehouse in East London.

But she has been charged with three crimes related to how she was given her municipal apartment.
He must appear before the magistrates on December 10.
If convicted, Ms. Begum could face a jail sentence and lose her seat at Commons.
Last November, we told her that she was facing an investigation into the riverside apartment she moved into after leaving her husband’s home.
The researchers wanted to know how he had jumped to the top of a housing list of 18,000 people so quickly despite not having children.
At the time, Ms. Begum denied wrongdoing, claiming that her housing situation was “in a state of flux” after the breakdown of her marriage.
And he insisted that there was no probe.
‘A DISGRACE’
Ms. Begum said: “I was very grateful to be housed, which gave me the livelihood I needed to live independently and safely.”
Labor also said that our story was “a disgrace.” But charges have been brought against her in recent days.
Ms Begum is believed to have applied for a flat at Tower Hamlets town hall while living with her family in 2011.
She moved in with her husband in 2014, but they separated a year later.
Within six months, he was offered the one-bed Isle of Dogs platform on a block on the Thames, run by a housing association but with council-appointed tenants.
Begum, a far-left member of Momentum, was a controversial choice as a Labor candidate.
The sun says
CRANKY Corbyn might be back in the back benches where he belongs, but his miserable legacy lives on.
Tomorrow, the breed’s watchdog will make a landmark decision on whether Her Majesty’s opposition became institutionally anti-Semitic under his leadership.
And surprisingly, as The Sun reveals today, one of his parliamentary cronies has just been indicted on three counts of housing fraud.
Car accidents aside, Sir Keir Starmer seems eager to prove himself a statesman on the prowl.
But British voters do not respond well to racism and fraud. So unless you oppose the far-left scum in your ranks, your choice will be ruined by 2024.
If the EHRC fails today against the former Labor leader, Jeremy Corbyn should be expelled from the party.
Yes, the Momentum supporters could sneak after him. But, something of a loss: they are extremists who fantasize about fighting the “oppressors” in the streets, and reject ordinary Britons.
Starmer has been given the opportunity to wrest the far left from the Labor Party. You should hold it with both hands.

He also shared claims that former Labor Prime Minister Tony Blair was spreading “Zionist propaganda.”
Neither Labor nor Begum responded to requests for comment.
