The party must seriously consider the loss of some Muslim voters
Keir Starmer has proved that you can turn a failing party around is so commonplace, it’s become almost boring. We know that the Tories will get a kicking and that Labour will enjoy some sort of record swing. And yet the media must find some mild peril. Otherwise, it’s just dull.– even though he won the mayoralty last time with 73 per cent of the vote. We must pretend there is a world in which Rishi Sunak stops flatlining, opens his eyes, leaps up and moonwalks across the operating theatre.
But Starmer has proved that you can turn a failing party around. Yes, the Tories have helped considerably by shooting themselves in both feet and every limb going, and yes Starmer is one lucky general . But political luck is about hard work and preparation, meeting those moments of opportunity and converting them, and not missing an open goal. So he deserves a huge amount of credit.People are turning away from the Tories in their droves and Reform is playing a useful role.
Scottish Leader Anas Sarwar, who called for a ceasefire earlier than Starmer, also said: “We recognise that there are some challenges.” It will also be interesting to see how Sadiq Khan’s vote is affected by Gaza when his results come in tomorrow afternoon. If Gaza continues without any breakthrough on a peace deal and the death toll continues to rise, this is not just a “Muslim” problem. As we are seeing in America, whether you agree with them or not, a whole generation of young peopleThe chances of Starmer losing to Sunak are tiny, but this issue could make life harder for Labour chiefs, who are still nervous that everything could go wrong in a short election campaign. They don’t want Gaza to be an issue.
