Starmer's Labour ‘institutionally racist,’ say quitting councillors
LABOUR is fighting the election as an “institutionally racist” party, a group of local councillors said today as they quit the party in protest.
Seven local authority representatives from Slough cited the treatment of Diane Abbott and Faiza Shaheen as key reasons for leaving, alongside Islamophobia.
Their resignation deepens the party’s problem with black voters caused by its blanket support for Israel, its entrenched Islamophobia and its blundering handling of Ms Abbott and Ms Shaheen.
