An influential Muslim campaign group seeking to “punish” Labour over Gaza has endorsed candidates who have spread antisemitic conspiracy theories and appeared to justify the October 7 terrorist atrocity.
The Muslim Vote (TMV), which is promoting dozens of pro-Palestine candidates in the general election, is backed by a cleric who has spread misinformation online about the attack by Hamas.
A TMV adviser has said the government’s decision to proscribe Hamas was “entirely and completely wrong”, comparing it to how Nelson Mandela was once labelled a terrorist.
