War in Gaza causes rift within the British left

In the United Kingdom, Muslim communities and young urban voters have turned away from Labour, disappointed by its lack of initiative on the Palestinian conflict. Many say they are ready to join Jeremy Corbyn's new party.

    The Labour government is not left, so who is the supposed rift with?

    In fact, from what I can tell, all the talk is about cooperation with the Greens, independents, unions and community groups. Bringing the left together.

    I haven’t heard any of this ‘splitting the left’ talk from leftwing backbenchers - only from Labour leadership goons and the right - which I think tells you everything you need to know about the message.

    Over the next few years we’re going to have to be better than we were in 2019 at seeing this kind of FUD for what it is or we’ll get Farage as the next prime minister.

    And we won’t get another chance to do something about it until 2034.

    No it hasn’t. There’s anyone in the Labour party that gives a damn, there’s no rift.
