Muslim support for Labour plunges over stance on Gaza war: Poll | Middle East Eye
Flag-shagger: he’s so busy being ‘patriotic’ (whatever that means to him) that Israel-loving Labour leader Keir Starmer seems not to have realised he is haemorrhaging support.
Oh dear. What a shame:
A new poll suggests that Labour is losing significant support among British Muslims as Keir Starmer prepares for an expected general election later this year amid criticism over the party’s handling of the Gaza war.
Data collected by Survation, commissioned by the Labour Muslim Network (LMN), showed that 60 percent of British Muslims who expressed a preference for a party said they would vote Labour. The poll was based on telephone interviews with a sample group of 682 people.
Survation said this represented a 26 percent drop in support since the last election in 2019 when 86 percent of Muslims previously polled by the company said they had voted Labour.
A spokesperson for LMN said the poll showed that the Labour Party risks losing a “generation” of potential new voters if its leadership does not change its position over the situation in Gaza.
This Writer wonders what Keir Starmer is planning to do to save all the seats he’ll otherwise lose with the Muslim vote.
My prediction: nothing.

Support has plummeted from more than Muslim voters trust me. There are millions of us who will not vote for a “proud Zionist” after what we have witnessed. I and many others have no wish to be governed by a mouthpiece acting for a hostile foreign power
That is heartening to read!
