Alex Phillips says the Labour Party “has been in denial” over the rise of the Muslim Vote in the election.

Joining Kevin O’Sullivan, she adds: “They want to sacrifice their own safety at the altar of this ‘diversity if wonderful’ fanfare.”

While the Labour Party’s position on Gaza has not dented its landslide General Election win, several of its candidates lost to independent challengers campaigning on a pro-Palestine platform.

Sir Keir Starmer was also heckled with shouts of “Free Palestine” both at the polling station in his Holborn and St Pancras constituency and at his election count as he was declared to have won his seat.
