Labour’s share of the Muslim vote fell from 80% in 2019 to just over 60% in 2024 .

Anger over party's position on the conflict in Gaza led many Muslim voters to switch to independent candidates.

Labour needs to know whether defections represent a long-term threat that could cost future elections.

The large-scale defection of Muslim voters in 2024 can be understood as a particular type of linked fate’ which was a response to an exceptional situation.

The results from 2024 show that Labour ’s stronghold over low-income ethnic minorities can’t be taken for granted.

In a closer election, the support of these voters could be crucial.
