According to Survation, only 60% of Labour-supporting British Muslims said they would vote for the party, marking a 26% drop in support since the last election in 2019. Following this week’s announcement that Labour was forced to withdraw support for Rochdale candidate Azhar Ali over his Israel comments, this poll makes will make for difficult reading.
