This is the moment a Green Party councillor shouts 'Allahu Akbar' after being elected in Leeds - as he declares his victory 'a win for the people of Gaza'.
The Muslim Vote also called for Sir Keir Starmer to recognise a Palestinian stateA pro-Gaza Muslim lobbying group has issued a list of 18 demands to Sir Keir Starmer it says he must fulfil in order for them to consider backing him at the next election.
Dozens of pro-Palestine campaigners were elected as councillors after making the conflict in the Middle East part of their campaign, with some wearing rosettes in the colours of the Palestinian flag while others dedicated their victories to the people of Gaza. The Muslim Vote issued a series of demands for Sir Keir Starmer after Labour shed votes in the local elections over its position on the conflict in Gaza

Others include calls to make sure that 'insurance quotes don't cost more for someone called 'Muhammad'' and to scrape the definition of extremism put forward by Michael Gove this year.
'This is a consequence of the Left's attempt to segment society and create a coalition of minorities rather than a unified whole. This is very divisive for the country at large.' Sir Keir suffered the biggest rebellion of his leadership in November when ten frontbenchers resigned or quit over his refusal to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
