‘This is the beginning of sectarian politics in Britain... I find it troubling and I find it worrying.’ @Nigel_Farage reacts to a new movement called 'The Muslim Vote' that wants to 'unify 4 million British Muslims' in voting for candidates standing on Muslim issue tickets. https://t.co/c3Gubzw5LU
I don't like the "no other minority" rhetoric that implicitly pits groups against each other, but it's really not good for public life in a multicultural country to be going around saying that any community can be "safely ignored". Starmer ought to step on this sort of talk, hard https://t.co/14tiYYCwuT
This is what @Keir_Starmer thinks of the Muslim communities of this country. Remember this, Rochdale. Show Starmer and @UKLabour exactly what you think of them on February 29th. #VoteGeorgeGalloway @georgegalloway @WorkersPartyGB #FreePalestine https://t.co/0KPOCIGRws
ICYMI... 'I would rather Keir Starmer won the Muslim vote because I don't want to have lots of independent Muslim candidates... I am worried that leads to a situation where you have lots of Muslim candidates in charge of lots of different constituencies...' @NanaAkua1 https://t.co/Z72g0cvMtD

'My worry is that we are heading towards a situation where certain pockets of the UK will end up with a larger majority of people who are Muslim, and then you end up with a culture change in this country' @NanaAkua1 https://t.co/VoQhuSWXU1
