So Keir Starmer realises that endorsing genocide against a captive population in Gaza will lose him the Muslim vote (and more), so he shakes a few Muslim hands in South Wales?
A vote for Starmer is a vote for genocide. We will never forget or forgive.
I was grateful to hear from the Muslim community of the South Wales Islamic Centre.
I repeated our calls for all hostages to be released, more humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, for the water and power to be switched back on, and a renewed focus on the two state solution.
