- Gaza has had a significant impact on the UK elections.
Despite a resounding Labour victory, the party suffered deep cuts in a number of key seats - thanks to an organised and angry British Muslim voter base that sought to send a clear message.
Five independent candidates campaigning on Pro-Palestine platforms managed to overturn Labour majorities - including former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
In 32 seats with more than a 20% Muslim constituency, Labour lost on average 24% of its support.
We examine the numbers, and the lessons they teach about the changing political landscape.

In short, British Muslims now vote in bigger numbers of people of same faith....all based on their stance on issue related to Gaza
Muslim vote? There are others across the Religion Spectrum, who disagree with Labour’s stance on Gaza.
That is true. But we Muslim's have a religious duty to defend the Palestinians as it is a sin not to. Also the constituencies have large Muslim populations so it should have been the pro Palestinian candidates guaranteed a win. Very depressing.
change are what?from sunak to him,he can't change the sanctions britain imposed on themselves,can't join brics,can't overturn the nuclear threaths,can't join the free world trading platform
@@Pomegranate_David that’s because a very large majority of Muslims that are eligible to vote do not vote I myself voted for the very first time in this election only due to the Gaza issue but a very large majority of Muslims I know personally did not vote or have never voted in their life it’s time the Muslim population needs to understand that they can choose who to put in power with their votes and hopefully will start using their votes majority usually always vote labour every single year to the point their areas are the most deprived and underdeveloped labour candidates come there knowing it’s a easy win for them year in and out they can stay in power. While ignoring the local people and acting like they don’t exist and knowing they will win there next year aswell unfortunately
Make no mistake.. That electorate was viciously attacked by the UK's mainstream, predominantly RW media - too.
You are absolutely right. But this name is given to the movement that galvanises and coordinates votes in the the muslim community specifically. Of course we all know how much support the Gaza cause has outside of this....basically anyone who has a heart supports Gaza.
Palestine, well never forget you
@najmul79303 With due respect no state or country named Palestine exists and never has done. So how can you state that you will not forget something that does not exist. On the other hand the Gaza Strip does exit. So don’t forget Gaza.
The truth the UK people need to know is Muslim love their ideologies more than the secular country than are in
I hope the US is watching
lol. These elections mean nothing. Only to the peasants.
Sorry watching what? A party has won a landslide with only 20% of the population voting for it? Only a 60% turnout? And the centre right vote was larger than Labour?
A few urban heavily muslim populated areas have vote on ethinic lines! Some middle-class metropolitans and some students supported them.
What exactly has the USA got to watch out for?
Voter apathy?
People staying away from politics with 40% not wanting to support any of them?
As an Irish man I love middle-class British logic and I'm an independent.
Watching? The UK losing it?
Too far brainwashed mate Waste of time
It's a still a representation of the entire UK population. The remaining 40% can vote the same way. The remaining 40% are more in favour of peace and pro Palestinians that's why they just can't vote for either of the parties but some think the other is of a lesser evil. I can't teach you statistics @@stephenholmes1036
If Palestine was a major issue in UK elections then how did the Workers Party led by George Galloway fail to win a single seat and Galloway himself having 18% Muslim voters in his constituency lost????
I think the vote for Lib Dem’s was also a vote for a ceasefire as Lib Dem’s are calling for a ceasefire immediately. I voted Lib Dem for that reason to get labour out who are not on the side of Palestine. Unfortunately in my constituency labour won. So annoying and sad!
Try emigrating, child.
I wish they were in the US

Do you care so much about all the victims of other Muslim conflicts or just ones that involve Jews?
Thank you Mohamed.
I am not muslim but very bitter about Labour's lack of action against Israel.
There are many like me...
👍💯❤
Absolutely! And you are appreciated!
Thank you for your humanity. You’re on the right side of history. The evil doers have been exposed.
@@sarahpengelly8439 You are better than many Muslims that are not even talking about it.
Absolutely. I could not even imagine voting for Labour whilst they fail to condemn, and even worse support, what is happening in Palestine. It is unthinkable.
The Muslim M P should understand that they have been elected to represent the people of this country nothing to do with GAZA.
Sorry, but I’m a British mother. I voted independent as did my children. We did this because she was the only person for whom Palestine mattered.
We were lifelong labour voters.
Labour are no different than the Tories. Sad, but true.
Cannot separate the two. Should not. Local politics are crucial, but international politics and complicity in genocide is not to be ignored.
@clairelongshaw4068 You are fortunate that you live in a democracy. The people of Gaza have not been given a chance to vote since 2005. I do have a question? Of the concurrent genocides and conflicts taking place is Gaza the only one that concerns you? FYI here is a list compiled by Genocide Watch.
Jihadist genocide of Christians in Nigeria
Russian genocide in Ukraine
Slow genocide of Hazara Shias in Afghanistan
Assad regime and Turkish genocides in Syria
Turkish and Syrian attacks against Kurds, Armenians, Christians, and other minorities in Northern Syria and Iraq.
Genocide in North Korea
Genocides of ethnic minorities in Myanmar
Persecution of Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh and India:
Chinese genocide of Uyghur Muslims
Hamas genocide of Israelis; Israeli war crimes and genocide in Gaza
Genocide in Ethiopia
Genocide in Democratic Republic of Congo
@@richardhead3062 which is exactly why I voted independent.
I’m a woman, we only got the vote in 1921, it’s precious and hard fought for and I’m lucky to have it.
I abhor violence of any kind, especially state sanctioned. People are waking up to what is happening and are speaking out. Our voices are getting louder and so they should.
I can only continue to speak out, attend rallies and stand in solidarity with those suffering man made atrocities, at the hands of western ‘leaders’.

I honestly do not understand people not seeing through him.
These British people are still sleeping and don't know what these Muslims are capable of doing. They have better learned a lesson from what has happened to Lebanon.

Muslim vote? I thought this was the UK, where elections happened based on BRITISH issues and issues concerning the UK, not Muslim ones.
It is shocking to see an alternate minister elected based purely on a Party's not adhering to an ethnic groups opinion about a war half way around the world. .
Labour's troubles from this group are only just beginning
While it is important to recognize the impact of the Muslim vote I don't think it is wise to overstate its impact.
The government of our country should not be influenced by a religious minority....any religious minority.
@@thehamster2301 it is being influenced by a minority, unfortunately that minority is called labour friends of israel
@@Raidar29your hatred is showing and it's very ugly just like Islam.
@@Raidar29exactly!!! Being against genocide is a universal human value…it’s a sign of a functioning sense of empathy. And those who don’t stand against it are either tricked into thinking it’s not happening, or they are truly evil and losing their humanity due to hate, which is not natural but an induced condition that inevitably eats at one’s own spirit, regardless of their personal religion.
@@talloncusackwell said. Muslim vote or Muslim marches are the words used to deceive the wider British population that a small minority is doing/wanting something else so as to control the damage whereas the truth is that the Muslim portion of the marches and votes is actually a tiny minority. There are many more decent humans in this country who do not practice the religion of Islam.
The tides of change have started in the UK and not much israel can do about it anymore not as long as we keep alert.
Change to what? Another Islamist hellhole?
Don’t worry they don’t even care about Gaza situation..It’s all matters is UK first

@terrapyn99 Which of the concurrent genocides are referring to?
An independent "Muslim vote" brings the great advantage that Labour no longer has to twist its policies to suit that particular constituency. These independents can vote with the Tories or Reform UK if they prefer.
People of other faiths & non-believers should realize that Muslims vote according their faith. 😂
There should be ZERO religion in politics. Religion should be inside you, not in the streets.
@greyhound2401Exactly. Thank god for Professor Richard Dawkins!!!!
They got 412 seats! Do you think they are bothered about a handful of seats lost to independents? And there is no excuse for muslim men intimidating women who don't work for the party they want to get in. Appalling behaviour from those men, Britain is a democracy and they were acting as though they were in a Middle East country!
Ofocurse labour would be worried. As they go more right. It leaves a vacuum for a party to form in the left. If independents can get this many votes and seats it's a matter of time till they form a party.

@@beanhole123 Labour is right?! Fuck me...
yes they're worried. Starmer took fewer votes than both elections that Corby stood in. Starmer didn't win, instead the Tory voter base completely collapsed.
It's about time we use our vote tactfully
It's pretty terrifying what's happened in the UK this week - we now have four MPs who are basically Islamists and were elected on foreign policy concerns. With no controls on immigration, which is highly unlikely, this type of voting will only grow and potentially drag us back to the dark delusions of the past, like most countries where Islam has power.
On the plus side, it's still early enough to arrest the decline, so the next couple of elections will certainly be interesting.
Could be too late by the next election if Starmer welcomes 2 million a year as expected!
If a Jewish woman can be the president of mexico this should be fine as well.lol
'Islamists' yet they all ran as independent
Why so much concern for Gaza ? What about Congo, Sudan, Burkinafaso ?
@tomsie2000 Or Iranian?! Exactly. This is all part of a plan. It’s extrimist rooting here in Britain.
.Because Gazzah is under a literal genocide, and the UK is spending its citizens' hard earn money on israel for no good reason, israelis are not skilled and they are doing nothing but burning those millions of pounds.
Because the uk is nowhere near as involved in the atrocities happening there
Because the Burkina Faso lobby doesn't dictate British foreign policy

The last thing the UK needs is sectarian, religious politics in our country. We had it hundreds of years ago, and we had it more recently in Northern Ireland. No good will come of it. People should be concerned about local and national issues when it comes to local and national elections. We don't want to see conflict from the Middle East or the Indian subcontinent imported here. Immigrants from those parts of the world migrated to the UK, presumably, for a better life, not to continue the sectarian hatreds commonplace in their countries of origin. The majority of the indigenous people of these Islands certainly don't want to see their towns and cities mired in religious and communalist conflict: UK Muslims should be concerned primarily about the same issues that concern everyone living in the UK, whether that be the cost of living crisis or the NHS or illegal migration, not expressing hatred for Hindus or Jews based upon overseas conflicts. I feel very sorry for any constituent who now has an independent MP pledged to put the people of Gaza before their interests as UK citizens. It's not a great advertisement for multiculturalism or immigration and will eventually and justifiably lead to the rise of parties determined to oppose them.
You wouldn’t want murderers of children as your Govt Ministers. They can’t be good humans and won’t care for u either .
This isn't about sectarian conflicts, but human rights abroad. Sorry that you had to waste your time writing spiel, instead of realising that obvious fact
Are the Brits not supplying arms and flying planes over Gaza from Cyprus and giving info to the Israelis? Is that not a concern for Citizens of the UK? Who started the problem in Palestine? I suggest you read it up.
@@jumpingjack5651WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST!It's time u folks understand that.Wasnt the European Results enuf for u guys to even understand that?
Its genocide. Our UK government is supplying the weapons with our tax. Some vote Independent, Workers, Greens who pledged to stop the supplies. You don't have to be a Muslim to comprehend that our interests is in a government that supports basic human rights for everyone and never support oppression no matter religion, nation etc. Muslims have been loyal to Labour for decades as a block its nothing new of they vote the same since most are the same social class, that will change with time if Conservatives become less islamophobic.
Kier Starver is a political snake. He owes his political career to the Labour friends for Israel. Plato critique of democracy as it degenerates into tyranny raises concerns about the erosion of democratic values. The role of lobbyists, special interest, the influence of money and Campaign financing play an important part in United Kingdom policies.
Better to be freinds with Isreal then Islamist who want to take over when they gain power
@khaderlander2429 Lobbying has been going on for as long as our parliamentary democracy has existed It’s nothing new. Political parties have many groups linking them with countries and organisations. By the way its Labour Friends “of” not “for”. On another note Friends do fall out!!!
All relegions and all wars are fundamentally wrong, and utterly pointless.
Very insightful, if you’re 5 years old
Religion or spirituality can be a source of connection and is a valuable tool…but like all belief systems, it can be corrupted and used for the pursuit of power & personal gain, which is antisocial. It’s meant to foster community and was how all civilizations organized themselves according to shared morals/ethics, and put them into law. Unfortunately the petty disagreements about the nitty gritty differences between various religious systems is how religion causes more harm than good in global matters. It should not factor into issues that require cooperation of all peoples to solve…when deep down we all “know” there are certain universal values that should span across all cultures and unite humanity in general.
Perfect. But we humans have yet to grow up enough to discard both, religion and wars!
Everything is fine, but England will never be in the EU again
Will this deportation bill be suspended or cancelled under the new Labour led Government. If yes my sympathies to UK as the people may face more Gaza conflict related protests.

MEE live with it. Even the far right in France lost.
Kier Starmer's own vote declined by 17%.
This was the first General election where the Muslims tried to send a message to Labour about its support for a genocidal Israel. If they can win six seats at the first attempt think of what they can do for the next General Election in four years!
There are over 80 Parliament seats where the Muslim vote is 20% or more. Let's hope and pray that sanity prevails and the Labour government actively supports a ceasefire in Gaza, so the killings come to an end and the hostages from both sides are reunited with their families.
This has all come about through the systematic weakening of the constitution by successive governments after the war. It started with the 1948 Nationality Act, the various Employment and Equal Rights Acts in the 70's, the Human Rights Act in 1998 and the Equalities Act in 2010. In totality this meddling legislation inflicted on the British people who were not asked was designed to circumvent the protection we had under the Magna Carta and Bill of Rights. We need to repeal every piece of legislation since the war that has destroyed this country. Restore the constitution.
Majority of British Muslims from 1960s upto 2022 had voted UK Labour for nearly every election - they had a bit of blind trust in the party members of their area (some of whom were muslims/ethnic local) but the Genoc@de of Pestine and the Newer more Social Media News Aware gen X & Z have helped awaken the sleeping brains and highlighted all the problems with Labour party so that is why suddenly there is voter apathy with non-voters and decreased voting numbers in 2024 among the Muslim population for Labour.
The Guardian, Monday 8 July 2024:
'Voter ID rule may have stopped 400,000 taking part in UK election, poll suggests'.
There is also the issue of postal ballot delays reported for 90 constituencies.
The results of these issues demand fresh recounts for those either unable to vote due to Photo Voter ID and those whose postal votes were delayed.
@safirahmed Tough 5h1t really. Dont forget your ID. Simple
Politics needs to be more than just about Gaza. We have corruption and injustice in the establishment, we need to root this out to stop wars, and have a fairer society.
It’s not only Muslims but those of us with political views like Mr Corbyn’s. I’ve supported Palestinian rights for over 40 years. The genocide in Gaza is the worst thing I’ve witnessed in my life. Even though my Labour MP is Diane Abbott who supports a ceasefire. BDS etc I couldn’t vote for her because she still represents Starmer’s Labour. I voted Green and they came second to Diane. Many people I know who support Palestine and are horrified at the Zionists withdrew support from Labour. Many people didn’t bother voting. The Labour party has changed so much under Starmer - it no longer warrants being described as the Labour Party. It no longer represents the interests of those who labour and work. There is an Israeli spy openly working for the Labour Party(so called).
If the genocide in Gaza is the worst thing you have seen, you must have had your eyes closed during all of the recent wars. For just one example, the genocide in Rwanda killed 1,000,000 people in 100 days using nothing but machetes.
Do you care about the victims of all the other conflicts involving Muslims or just the one that involves Jews?
@@michaelw2288 Rwanda’s government was backed in its tyranny by a formidable armoury provided by the West, particularly France.
@@michaelw2288 Of course the genocide in Rwanda was desperately horrific and cruel. I didn’t see men kept underfed, shackled, blindfolded and in diapers, later requiring amputations due to the tightness of the shackles. I didn’t see babies left to die and decompose in incubators left with no power. I’m not aware of banned substances like white phosphorus being used against Tutsis or of soldiers doing the equivalent of dipping bullets in pork fat, which describes a uniquely sick and malevolent attitude. No genocide has anything good about it, all are cruel and evil by definition, but the Zionists have outdone themselves in their sick Nazi-like sadism. Also 2m Tutsis fled Rwanda.

Do you understand how the first past the post system works in the UK? The Labour Party has suffered for decades under it with the British electorate returning minority supported Tory governments with large majority for decades. By all means continue with your analysis about the changing political landscape but I invite you to consider the following.
Muslims make up 6% of the UK population. But where they are concentrated (eg in Northern cities) and many (not all) tend to vote for Muslim candidates or Muslim causes - as is their democratic right in our system. Which means that they can affect the election outcomes in a handful of seats.
Which is what happened this time around due to sentiments shared regarding the War in Gaza - which they an many took out against Labour party candidates - particularly did not support their position on the war.
On the flip side there are many others who did not support the Labour Party's position on the war in Gaza, the war in Sudan (where Muslims are slaughtering African Christians), two child family support, membership of the EU and others as well. But yet they voted for the Labour Party by the millions and won a landslide majority 412 seats. The 5 seats lost were not needed.
Here is how they did it :
- By tailoring their policies on matters to the vast majority of the British electorate were concerned about. The war in Gaza was tops for many Muslim voters but it did not feature in the top 5 most important issues of British voters generally as per the exit poles.
- They broadened their message to win over voters that traditionally voted for the Tories. No reckless spending pledges. Focus on service
- The used there limited financial resources wisely by focusing on marginal areas that they could overtake the Tories in while sacrificing those areas that traditionally voted Labour (large Muslim areas were a victim of this strategy - its hard politics)
- They changed the party by purging it of the the Jeremy Corbyn faction and the anti-Semites that Corby failed to address adequately
All done on a reduced share of the vote - that is how our system works. So all of your analysis about reduced Muslim share of the voter for the Labour party might bring some degree of solace to those sympathetic towards Gazans, the brutal honest truth is that it is irrelevant in the overall scheme of things.
The Gaza supporting candidates focused their campaign on Gaza. For example, Stephen Flynn, the SNP leader used his time in Parliament focused almost entirely on the Gaza issue. They lost 38 seats mostly to the Labour Party. Almost of their seats in Scotland.
Labour party candidates focused on what they needed to get the British voters to vote for them. Now the Labour Party is the largest party in all 3 nations - England, Scotland and Wales
This is something that Jeremy Corbyn never understood when he lead the Labour party to a record defeat in 2019.
Those pushing the Gaza agenda might just want to reconsider their tactics going forward and seek to influence the Labour government through dialogue. Shouting slogans about complicity in genocide plays well with the activists but it is unlikely to sway this new government. Nor is it a substitute for rational dialogue.

What Israel is doing is bloody awful. Regular innocent Palestinian people do not deserve what Hamass has brought to their door.
Unfortunately the "war" goes back hundreds of years & I fear for hundreds more.

@@Azda-emina Those two things aren't even correlated in any way🤣 you're delusional
@Azda-emina kids limbs have been blown off in Syria, Yamen, Nigeria, afganistan, Iraq, Ukraine, israel etc. That's the unfortunate cost of war. If that mattered to most people, they would make love not war. Palestine is no special unless you are biased.
@@htantijira at the rate things are escalating get ready to pay the price yourself too. We are being dragged into a third world war and even western countries that have been sitting pretty for the last 100 years while others suffer will not be spared this time.
@Azda-emina I don't agree. We will not get involved to any Middle Eastern issues as all Western countries are pretty self-serving. If wider war breaks out, UK or UK citizens will not be involved because of our geographical location. All our neighboring countries are friendly.
Good, Anylysis.
love your show, Mohamed, but now even more, since i noticed that oud behind you !
Wao
So you guys consider a vote for the party carrying out genocide to be a victory? Gaza is fucked in that case.
Indians will always support Indians.
This proves from Leicester east Tory win

If Muslims really cared, they would have backed the Worker's Party... yet we saw that party secure no seat.
Even George Galloway lost his seat. Pathetic
Galloway is an opportunistic scumbag who cosies up with dictators.
The Red Green alliance is based on the possibility that you can convert irreligeous Marxists to Islam and conservative Muslims to Marxism. Delusional thinking means that it is no more than a short term tactical alliance. Look what happened to the Tudeh communists after the Islamic revolution in Iran.
No they wouldn't George Galloway supports China. He's just someone who's anti West
Abduls only cares about Abduls religious interest not interest of leftists communists. That's the ultimate truth Russia China needs to understand.
You're not wrong.
I am regarding from france one day before the election, that helps me breathing!
I must say in my area we had four independent parliamentary candidates and the only thing with the leaflets that came to the door was about Gazza nothing about the UK neither of them got my vote. I voted for labour purely on the basis that they weren’t offering me anything.
Those that used Gaza to get in are in the wrong country ,if they want to represent their needs then they should move there and Britain will be better for it,we need mps that focus on what needs done in this country to get Britain back on track.take a look at Blackburn , its shocking what has happened there , the town has been lost to islamists.Rochdale too.This Gaza stuff is the vehicle Muslims use to gain power.So many places in the UK are now lost to them, you can tell just hy looking at the area and if it's become a dump then it's usually been taken over already.I thought MPs were supposed to represent the area in which they live.
Shame reform ran a n0nbritish pr0rejoin candidate.
"to get Britain back on track" to where, exactly? Your comment reads like the racist nonsense that Oswald Mosley propagated in the 1930s. I suggest if you don't like Britain, you can leave.
It was a disaster for George Galloway. Shame on Muslims
Why?
@@andraputraanuar6672because George Galloway supported them yet they didn’t support him he lost his seat. Muslims are ungrateful they will choose any muslim even a bad one over a good and life long Palestine supporter like George Galloway. Despicable
What happened to Galloway?
@@Baci302He lost. I'm still gutted. But George had some controversial views which went against him.
change are what?from sunak to him,he can't change the sanctions britain imposed on themselves,can't join brics,can't overturn the nuclear threaths,can't join the free world trading platform
Over 75 , like Jeremy Corbin should not be allowed to stand for the parliament.
lol Mus lims😂🤣😂🤣🤡
No doubt the Muslim vote has sent some shockwaves to the Labour leadership but more Muslims and pro Palestinians of all backgrounds should have come out to vote. Also there were to many pro Palestinian candidates in one area which cause split votes which subsequently allowed Labour & Conservative to nick a seat.
Don’t worry about that starmer has already opened the borders against so there will be millions more before long
😂 This is too silly!
And why do they ignore Sudan? Syria? Yemen? And what on earth do they think Brits should do? Can do?
And they all use Israeli tech - what hypocrites!
And have muslims not noticed what actual muslim countries are like btw.
"They" include 20,000 Sudanese born Londoners (+offspring) who care about Gaza more than they care about Sudan.
This mindset is a nonesense, we dont talk about the catholic or the protestant vote. It does more harm thsn good. Thank God we have 1st world mindsets across all Govt.
I suspect Northern Irish people still talk that way.
Congratulations to all of u. U've done us proud. 💐🎊🎉🙌
