Labour leader met group of Muslim politicians on Wednesday amid pressure to call for ceasefire in Gaza
Keir Starmer has conceded to Muslim Labour MPs that his visit to a south Wales mosque could have been handled better, the Guardian understands, as he faces mounting pressure from all wings of the party to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
The shadow women and equalities minister, Yasmin Qureshi, publicly broke Labour ranks on Wednesday and urged Rishi Sunak to call for a ceasefire during prime minister’s questions. She said the people of Gaza were subject to “collective punishment” for “crimes they did not commit”.
