Gaza stance Party will 'work hard' to regain Muslim support after losing votes

Pat McFadden, the party's national election co-ordinator, said it would "work to get people's support back" as analysis showed that despite huge gains in council seats, seizing the West Midlands mayoralty and Sadiq Khan, the Muslim mayor of London, winning a third term, there was an almost 18% drop in the Labour vote in areas where more than a fifth of people identified as Muslim.

After an analysis of 930 wards by Prof Will Jennings, of the University of Southampton, showed the scale of the protest vote over Labour's support for Israel over Gaza and the time it took to call for a ceasefire, McFadden told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme the situation in the Middle East was a "high foreign policy priority" for Labour, adding: "The better lives that people want for the Palestinian people is something the Labour leadership shares."
