Edwards has a background spanning several years in left-wing activism and political engagement, particularly focusing on issues related to equality, tolerance and human rights.

Through her work, she has participated in campaigns for equal pay, against gender violence and for increased representation of women and minorities in political and social spheres.

But now Lauren Edwards claims she “burst with judgement” when she wrote “I want to get these fucking retarded Estonians out of my apartment now!” in a message on Twitter at the time in 2009.

The Member of Parliament also apologized for a comment about a halal restaurant and about Parliament's cleaners that has only now come to attention.

Another post, which was replying to the account 'BaronessWrenthorpe', the politician wrote:

“The Baroness of Wrenthorpe texted me from Walthamstow to say she was at a Pakistani-Chinese Halal BBQ. Hope she's not suggesting we meet there !”.

Elsewhere, the Labor politician tweeted the following:

“Are the cleaners taking too many breaks? My desk has so many coffee rings it looks like Saturn.'

p>The old Twitter message has now received millions of shares after being noticed by Tesla and X owner Elon Musk.

On Thursday, Edwards wrote in a statement:

“I have recently became aware of a small number of tweets I posted on Twitter over a decade ago, which I now deeply regret.”
