Labour’s Muslim Problem
Lord Hermer, a Jewish lawyer, becomes the UK's Attorney General under Labour's new government, which has pledged to recognize a Palestinian state. This recognition is driven by domestic voters' hatred of Israel rather than concern for Palestinians. The election saw a significant Muslim bloc vote, with 1 in 4 British Muslims citing the Israel/Palestine conflict as their most important issue. Labour MPs will likely pander to these demands to secure reelection, potentially altering policy.
