Warning to Starmer's cabinet as anger grows over Palestine
Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood are among those identified by top pollster Sir John Curtice as facing significant challenges from pro-Gaza candidates.
Pollsters suggest that widespread anger over the Palestine issue, amplified by Jeremy Corbyn 's new party campaigning on it, could lead to high-profile casualties for Labour.
The move on Palestinian statehood is considered insufficient to address deeper resentments among Muslim voters, who feel neglected by Labour, a sentiment compared to the impact of Brexit on 'red wall' voters.
Sir John noted Labour's difficulty in maintaining support from both Jewish and Muslim communities, alongside a broader struggle to articulate its direction and reconnect with the wider electorate.

Ex-councillor warns of 'venom' in politics after attacks
A former county councillor has raised concerns over "the venom that has spread in politics" following personal attacks, blackmail attempts and damage to his car during recent Fifield served as the deputy leader of Gloucestershire County Council for the Conservatives before losing his seat earlier this said he had noticed an increase in "political outrage" since standing for election in 2017 – and said support was "non-existent" for councillors and council said it provided councillors with "comprehensive guidance and resources as part of its induction and ongoing training programme". Its leader, Lisa Spivey, said it was "not acceptable" for them to be targeted. Mr Fifield said that, during the 2024 Cheltenham Borough Council elections, his car was keyed twice while canvassing, his car window was smashed, and election leaflets were said he had also received threatening emails and aggressive notes through his letterbox, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Fifield said he believed the quality of public discourse had worsened in recent years."When I got elected in 2021, the attitude was that you must put your address on the website so people know that you're local," he said the county council now recommended its members did not put their private address online."That's indicative of what's happened," he said. 'Toxic environment' Mr Fifield said a more aggressive type of discourse had made its way into council debates."The heightening tone as part of the political outrage has become more common in recent years and it's creating a toxic environment," he Fifield believes this is putting off potential candidates."Would a councillor who was older than me, or may have had mental health challenges in the past, want to put themselves under that sort of duress?" he asked."We talk a lot about the mental health of society, but it seems we've decided that politicians don't have mental health."He said candidates in particular had "no support network" and were simply advised to report abuse issues to the Fifield added: "I think we need to have a bit more of an open discussion if we want a good mixture of people coming in to stand as councillors."

PM and Cooper pile pressure on police over revealing suspects' details as transparency row deepens
Sir Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper have piled pressure on the police to reveal more details relating to suspects amid a growing row over an alleged lack of transparency around investigations. The prime minister and home secretary said all authorities should be 'as transparent as possible' about those who have been charged with crimes such as rape and sexual assault, in comments that will be seen at odds with the stance of many police forces. It comes after Reform UK leader Nigel Farage said police forces should release information including immigration status about people who are charged with crimes, claiming Warwickshire Police have been part of a 'cover-up' oover details of an alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton in July. Asked about the demands on Monday, the prime minister's official spokesperson said: 'All authorities, from the police to central government, should be as transparent as possible for handling these cases'. The home secretary doubled down on the PM's comments on Tuesday morning, saying police should routinely reveal the nationality and asylum status of crimnial suspects. She said she is working with the College of Policing to develop new guidance to promote transparency. It came after government sources told The Times that increased transparency would help to 'rebuild public trust', amid flaring tensions over the government's handling of the migrant crisis. 'We do want to see more transparency in cases. We think local people do need to have more information', Ms Cooper told BBC Breakfast. 'It is an operational decision about how much information can be revealed in the middle of a live investigation, but we do want to see greater transparency. 'That's why we've asked the Law Commission to accelerate its review into what the rules are around what information can be released and when… and we're also working with the College of Policing on strengthening and changing their guidance as well'. The row comes after two men, reported as being Afghan asylum seekers, were charged in relation to the alleged rape in Nuneaton. Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, was charged with rape last week in relation to the alleged incident. Meanwhile, Mohammad Kabir, also 23, was charged with kidnap and strangulation in the same investigation. Warwickshire Police have not released the immigration status of the two suspects and defended its decision not to do so, adding: 'When someone is charged with an offence, we follow national guidance. This does not include sharing ethnicity or immigration status.' Asked at a press conference on Monday whether the police should release the names, addresses and immigration status of people after they have been charged with an offence, Mr Farage said: 'What caused unrest on our streets after Southport last year was us not being told the status of the attacker. That led to crazy conspiracy theories spreading online.' George Finch, the 19-year-old leader of Warwickshire County Council, told Monday's press conference that he was 'begging' for information about the two to be released in the wake of the charges. Mr Finch also said he had written a letter to Ms Cooper and the chief constable of Warwickshire Police which called for the immediate release of the immigration status of the two. In his letter to the home secretary, published on X on Sunday, Mr Finch claimed that a 'cover-up' of immigration status 'risks public disorder breaking out on the streets of Warwickshire'. There have been escalating protests across the UK opposing the use of hotels to house asylum seekers, with a number of people arrested after a protest outside a hotel in Canary Wharf in London on Sunday. Protesters jeered at people going in and out of the hotel, and officers were forced to step in after flares were let off in the crowd, the Metropolitan Police said. A group of people outside the Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf were 'harassing occupants and staff', trying to prevent people make deliveries, as well as trying to 'breach the fencing and access the hotel', a statement from the force said.

Home Secretary calls for more transparency from police over suspects
Police should reveal more information about suspects, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has said in response to allegations the authorities have tried to 'cover up' alleged offences by asylum seekers. She said guidance to police was already being examined but it was an 'operational decision' for forces and the Crown Prosecution Service over what information to release. The College of Policing said transparency is 'essential to prevent misinformation'. The issue has been the subject of fierce debate in a series of high-profile cases, including recently over the charging of two men – reported to be Afghan asylum seekers – over the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton. The Home Secretary said 'we do think more transparency is needed' in the information given by police. She said: 'We do think the guidance needs to change and we have also already, about six months ago, we asked the Law Commission to look at this and to accelerate their review around some of the contempt of court issues, that's about what information can be released when there's a trial pending.' She referred to a case where Iranian nationals were charged with spying offences in May and the Crown Prosecution Service revealed three of them had arrived either on small boats or a lorry. She told BBC Radio 4's Today: 'It is an operational decision for the police and Crown Prosecution Service on an individual case, what and when information can be revealed in a live investigation. 'However, we do think that the guidance needs to change, the College of Policing is already looking at this, and Home Office officials are working with the College of Policing.' A College of Policing spokesman said: 'Media relations guidance for police is already under review and is looking at how forces can best balance their obligations under contempt of court legislation with their responsibility to prevent disorder. 'Police forces make challenging and complex decisions on a case-by-case basis and transparency is essential to prevent misinformation and reassure the public.' The Southport atrocity committed by Axel Rudakubana in July last year was also marked by a focus on the suspect's ethnicity and immigration status – with false rumours spreading online that he was a Muslim asylum seeker, fuelling the riots seen in the aftermath of the stabbings. The same force, Merseyside Police, were more transparent when a car drove into crowds during Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade, saying they had arrested a 'white British man'. Emily Spurrell, Merseyside's Police and Crime Commissioner, told Today in Rudakubana's case the situation was complicated because he was under 18 when he was arrested, which created 'huge challenges' about what could be said. She said: 'I think the police will always aim to be as transparent as possible, but they are limited because of their need to protect the criminal justice process.' She acknowledged that 'we live in a very different world now' to when some of the guidance was first drafted as rumours could spread quickly online and there were some 'bad actors who deliberately circulate false information to serve a particular agenda'. The Nuneaton case has led to fresh pressure on police over the information they make public. Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, was arrested on July 26 and charged the next day with rape, according to Warwickshire Police. He appeared at Coventry Magistrates' Court last Monday and has been remanded in custody. Mohammad Kabir, 23, was arrested in Nuneaton on Thursday and charged with kidnap, strangulation and aiding and abetting rape of a girl under 13, the force added. He appeared at Coventry Magistrates' Court on Saturday and has been remanded in custody. Warwickshire Police did not deny a Mail On Sunday report which said Mulakhil and Kabir are asylum seekers. Reform UK's leader Nigel Farage and Warwickshire Council leader George Finch claimed there had been a 'cover-up' in the case. Mr Farage said it was a 'cover-up that in many ways is reminiscent of what happened after the Southport killings last year'. In a letter to the Home Secretary, Mr Finch claimed that a 'cover-up' of immigration status 'risks public disorder breaking out on the streets of Warwickshire'.
