Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer is to meet Muslim MPs amid tensions over the party's stance on the Israel-Gaza war.

Sir Keir has faced criticism since seeming to say Israel had the "right" to cut off water and energy to Gaza.

At least 19 Labour councillors have already quit the party over the issue, including in Cambridge, Nottinghamshire, Gloucester, while some MPs have also been critical about the position the leadership has taken.

In Oxford, Labour has lost its majority on the council, after eight councillors resigned from the party.

More than 30 Labour MPs, as well as former party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who now sits as an independent, have also backed calls for a ceasefire.

However, last week Sir Keir refused to support the move, instead saying Israel had the right to defend itself.

Starmer is increasingly at odds with what the Labour electorate want and even what party members and representatives expect.

He's so wishy-washy that there is every chance he loses the next election. He's only going to win it if people think Labour are the best hope of ousting tory scum.

With support split between a Labour party, with its lack-lustre back-tracking leader and no compelling or convincing vision, and Lib Dems, there's every chance tories will secure a majority.

This is a time when Labour really needs a convincing, charismatic and inspiring leader. Instead they've got Starmer.
