Introduction

Labour Muslim MPs have had a long meeting with leader Keir Starmer in which they expressed their discontent with their leader for not explicitly calling on Israel to do more to save civilian life in Gaza.

He’s also seen at least 23 councillors step down over their frustration with Labour's position.

Does the Labour leader need to do more to offer reassurance to Muslim voters and MPs?

And why is it so problematic to ask for a ceasefire?
