Islamophobia
A survey of 422 Muslim members or supporters of the party, commissioned and conducted by LMN, found that 55% of respondents said they do not “trust the leadership of the Labour Party to tackle Islamophobia effectively.”
Nearly six in 10 — 59% also did not feel “well-represented by the leadership of the party”, nearly half — 48% did not have confidence in the party’s complaints procedure to deal with Islamophobia and nearly half — 44% — did not believe the party takes the issue of Islamophobia seriously.[3]
