(Middle East Eye) The Labour Party is supporting the creation of a new Muslim leadership group intended to become the primary point of engagement between Keir Starmer’s government and Muslim communities in the UK, Middle East Eye can exclusively reveal.
A draft document setting out plans for the network seen by MEE describes its core objectives as including “to influence public policy in a way that safeguards and promotes the rights of British Muslims,” and “to influence the media debate around Muslims in Britain.”
“The initial focus will be creating a credible group that engages with the government of the day and over time take on a wider remit of support for Muslim representation and leadership development,” the document says.
