PRIME MINISTER Sir Keir Starmer has opened up a further rift with Britain’s Muslims by responding dismissively to a question as to how he would seek to regain support from a community which largely turned against Labour last week.
When challenged by ITV on the loss of Muslim votes, Starmer instead referred only to his breadth of support and Labour’s country-wide gains while failing to acknowledge the disaffection.
Labour MP Apsana Begum said: “This is an awful response from Keir and lacks any acknowledgement of the need to build trust among British Muslims who feel that Labour has let them down.
