Labour to lose Muslim voters

Muslim voters are deserting Labour with six in 10 prepared to vote for a pro-Gaza independent candidate or the Green Party in Thursday’s council elections, a poll has revealed. If there were a general election tomorrow, only a third of Muslim voters would support Labour under Sir Keir Starmer, down from a high of 80 per cent, according to the poll of 1,006 Muslim adults by JL Partners for the Policy Exchange.
