Over 250 Muslim Labour councillors have demanded Keir Starmer call for a ceasefire in Gaza, joining dozens of MPs in doing so.
A letter from the Labour Muslim Network reads: “As Labour councillors elected to serve our constituents, the message we have been hearing repeatedly over the past 2 weeks is simple, people just want an end to the bloodshed and the loss of innocent life.
“Therefore, as Labour Party councillors, as members, and as members of the Muslim community we urge the Labour Party to urgently adopt a position of calling for an immediate ceasefire.”
