Labour faces Muslim vote meltdown after backing Israel's Gaza genocide, officials concede

LABOUR’S support among Muslim communities is in meltdown over the party’s backing for the Israeli genocide in Gaza, party officials are conceding.

The party is belatedly waking up to the danger of lost seats across the country as Muslim voters turn against it. Panicking MPs are urging Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to take remedial action.

The action being taken, however, seems largely to involve opinion polls and WhatsApp chats rather than adjusting the substance of the party’s approach to the crisis in Gaza.
