Labour members flee party over Gaza
Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, March 11, 2024
LABOUR membership is plummeting according to figures reported to the party’s national executive committee this week.
It has dropped by 25,000 in the first two months of 2024 alone, doubtless as a consequence of the Starmer leadership’s full support for Israeli aggression in Gaza.
The total is now 355,000, more than 200,000 down on its Corbyn-era peak.
