Keir Starmer is due to meet Muslim MPs and peers this afternoon as he tries to defuse anger about his strong stance on the right to respond to Hamas terror attacks.
Keir Starmer ducked mentioning the Middle East crisis at PMQs today as he scrambles to quell a growing Labour meltdown over his backing for Israel.
Long-standing tensions within Labour have flared since the atrocities in Israel, with a slew of councillors quitting and left-wing MPs deeply unhappy. Sir Keir is embroiled in a bitter row with a mosque in Wales after community leaders accused him of 'gravely misrepresenting' their discussions during a visit at the weekend
He told Times Radio: 'It is perfectly normal for MPs — we all represent different constituencies around the country — to want to speak to the leader of our party. In a post on X, he said: 'I was grateful to hear from the Muslim community of the South Wales Islamic Centre. The centre's statement said: 'We wish to stress Keir Starmer's social media post and images gravely misrepresented our congregants and the nature of the visit.
