• Support for Labour among British Muslims has fallen by a third since the last election, with a significant number switching to other parties or remaining undecided.
• Sir Keir Starmer faces pressure to change his stance on Gaza, amid growing calls for a ceasefire and criticism of his leadership's handling of the issue.
• The Conservative party, despite a general decline in favorability among British Muslims, has been perceived as taking a tougher stance on ending the war in Gaza.
• Labour's efforts to regain trust among Muslim voters are challenged by concerns over Islamophobia within the party and dissatisfaction with its position on Palestine.
