Pro-Gaza Independents Defeat Labour Candidates In Blow For Keir Starmer

Jeremy Corbyn was one of five pro-Gaza campaigners elected as MPs.

Five pro-Gaza independent candidates have been elected to parliament after Keir Starmer’s stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict came back to haunt Keir Starmer.

Labour frontbencher Jonathan Ashworth was the biggest casualty of the night for the party as he lost his Leicester South seat to Shockat Adam.

Former shadow minister Khalid Mahmood was also defeated in Birmingham Perry Barr, where Ayoub Khan overturned his 15,317 majority.
