The UK Labour Party is facing a 'full blown crisis' over its support among Muslim voters due to its stance on the Gaza conflict, with Labour Muslims warning leader Keir Starmer about 'nosediving' support. Starmer recognized the 'lot of concern' about the Middle East and called for a 'sustainable ceasefire'. The shadow justice secretary admitted to a 'loss of trust' in the party from the Muslim community. Accusations of 'Muslim washing' were leveled at the party, with @CllrAzharAli being criticized for his participation. The issue has also affected non-Muslim voters, leading to a loss of broader support ahead of the #RochdaleByElection.
You lost my vote and I’m not Muslim. It’s not a Middle East situation, it’s a British situation. Our leaders shouldn’t be supporting a genocide. https://t.co/IRcCq2rtLg
This is peak “Muslim washing” by the genocide enabling Labour Party. Even more shameful is that @CllrAzharAli is allowing himself to be used like this. If what he says in the video is true, how can he in all good conscience serve in a party led by Starmer? #RochdaleByElection🥀 https://t.co/kd6YSzsyzi

When asked if Labour has lost the trust of Muslim voters over its policy on Gaza, Keir Starmer replied: 'There's a lot of concern about the situation in the Middle East' He said the way to address that is to 'get to a sustainable ceasefire' https://t.co/4td6uJlaP7
