Labour MP Dawn Butler shares video with ‘celebratory collage’ of murderers and rapists
A Labour MP has come under fire for sharing a video that features a collage of black power activists who have been convicted of murder and rape.
Dawn Butler, the MP for Brent East, faced criticism when she shared a video yesterday that appears to be timed to celebrate Black History Month.
In spoken verse, she refers to an unnamed foe as being “the wrong one, the violent one, the weird one,” before saying that she is “the Chosen One, Because I am of the First Ones.”
In the Spectator magazine, Melanie McDonagh said: “What I think she is saying is that because human civilisation originated in Africa and her own ethnic origins are African … she is a cut above the rest of us.”
The footage attracted widespread criticism on X, with critics describing it as racist and offensive. GB News can now reveal that the post also included stills of controversial black American activists and criminals.
The video includes portraits of cop-killing fugitive Assata Shakur and controversial Nation of Islam figure Khalid Abdul Muhammad. Shakur is one of the FBI’s so-called "Most Wanted Terrorists" after she escaped custody in 1979 following a conviction for murdering a police officer.

The people in Dawn Butler's collage (below) are black people she is celebrating, and no doubt thinks we should be celebrating, during black history month. Those circled are convicted terrorists, rapists, and a cop killer.
GB News contacted the Labour party who refused to comment.
