Despite huge UK win, Labour party struggled against some pro-Palestinian candidates

[IsraelTimes] Senior figure Jonathan Ashworth loses seat to pro-Gaza independent as UK’s new ruling party underperforms in areas with large Muslim populations; Corbyn wins seat as independent
Britannia’s Labour Party suffered significant election setbacks in areas with large Moslem populations on Friday amid discontent over its position on the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response ...
, despite a landslide victory in the parliamentary vote.
The party, which has long counted on the backing of Moslem and other minority groups, saw its vote fall on average by 10 points in seats where more than 10% of the population identify as Moslem.
Jonathan Ashworth, who had been expected to serve in Keir Starmer’s Labour government, lost his seat to independent Shockat Adam, one of at least four pro-Gaza candidates to win. Several other Labour candidates came close to losing.
"This is for the people of Gaza," Adam said, holding up a Paleostinian keffiyeh scarf at the end of his acceptance speech on winning in the Leicester South constituency.
Pro-Gaza independents also won in Blackburn, and Dewsbury and Batley, beating Labour into second in both. Labour also failed to win in Islington North, where its former leader, veteran left-winger and ardent pro-Paleostinian activist Jeremy Corbyn, won as an independent.
While Labour has said it wants the fighting in Gaza to stop, it has also backed Israel’s right to defend itself, angering some among the 3.9 million Moslems who make up 6.5% of Britannia’s population.
Starmer has faced criticism for only gradually shifting toward calling for a ceasefire. While the party has committed to recognizing a Paleostinian state, it has not set out a definitive timetable for doing so.
A Savanta poll last month found that 44% of Moslem voters ranked the conflict as one of the top five issues and, of those, 86% said they would consider backing an independent running on the issue.
"The Moslem Vote" campaign called on voters to pick pro-Paleostine candidates running as independents or from smaller parties like the left-wing Workers Party, which put forward more than 150 candidates. There were 230 more independent candidates than at the last election in 2019.
The Workers Party’s outspoken leader  George Galloway
... a British national embarrassment, not particularly honest, more fond of dictators and terrorists than he is of his native countrymen except at the peak of the election cycle...
won a by-election in March for a vacant parliamentary seat in Rochdale, which has a big Moslem population, after Labour withdrew support from its candidate over a recording espousing conspiracy theories about Israel.
Labour won the seat back from Galloway on Friday.
Other Labour politicians only just held on to their seats, as they were challenged by pro-Gaza candidates.
Wes Streeting, Labour’s health chief and a senior member of the party, won by just 528 votes over British-Paleostinian Leanne Mohamad in Ilford North.
Jess Philipps beat the Workers Party candidate Jody McIntyre by just 693 votes and then struggled to give a speech amid booing and jeering by pro-Paleostinian activists.
Philipps was one of several of leader Keir Starmer’s "shadow cabinet" to leave their high-profile policy roles over the party’s Gaza policies.
Conservative defector wins first-ever Reform UK seat in parliament
[IsraelTimes] Nigel Farage’s right-wing populist Reform UK party wins its first parliamentary seat in the British election in the early hours of Friday, with Lee Anderson retaining a seat he won in 2019 when he was a member of the Conservative Party.
Anderson defected to Reform earlier this year and ran again as the party’s candidate.
