In a statement they said the Labour leader 'either cannot or will not heed our concerns or acknowledge the sentiments within our communities.'
The leader of Burnley Council and 10 other councillors have resigned from the Labour Party this evening over Sir Keir Starmer's decision not to push for a ceasefire in Gaza, Sky News understands. Afrasiab Anwar, who has been in the party for 10 years, was among those calling for the leader to step down on Thursday.
'I joined the Labour Party because of the values of standing up and speaking out against injustices across the world. Sadly, Keir Starmer has not stood up for Labour values, hence why we are calling upon him to step down. 'Blindly following the position of Mr Sunak is not acceptable to us and our residents who we represent.' The leader of Pendle Council, which is also in Lancashire, also called on Sir Keir to resign on Thursday.
