Andrew Feinstein, a pro-Palestinian activist and politician, is running in the general election in the Labour leader’s London constituency.
London, England – As the United Kingdom gears up for a critical general election, some Britons are deciding between party loyalty and independent candidates.
The opposition Labour Party is predicted to win the election by a staggering margin. But many of its longtime supporters are disillusioned with the party’s stance on Israel’s war on Gaza.
According to a recent poll commissioned by Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) and the Council for Arab-British Understanding (CAABU), 86 percent of Labour voters support an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Labour leader Keir Starmer has only called for a “sustainable ceasefire” and repeatedly backed what he sees as Israel’s right to self-defence, even as tens of thousands of Palestinians are killed.
Andrew Feinstein, a former member of parliament for the South African African National Congress (ANC), is an ex- Labour Party member taking matters into his own hands; he is running as an independent candidate in Starmer’s London constituency of Holborn and St. Pancras.
