We are calling on the Labour Party to immediately give back any money received from David Abrahams, and to explain why Keir Starmer personally wrote to Abrahams to solicit a donation without carrying out the proper checks on his suitability as a donor.

Labour should not be accepting money from people who make Islamophobic remarks, especially at a time when the Labour Muslim Network has released a report drawing attention to Islamophobia in the Party.

Failing to act and return the money will only deepen serious concerns around Islamophobia and will lead people to believe there is hierarchy of racism within the party.
