The MCB leadership team met with leader of the Liberal Democrats, Sir Ed Davey, and Layla Moran MP, Spokesperson for Foreign Affairs, to discuss the critical situation in Palestine, ahead of the ceasefire vote.
We thank Layla for her powerful voice on this issue and commend the Lib Dems for their stance to call for an immediate ceasefire, which they voted for yesterday.
Sir Ed reaffirmed his commitment to tackling islamophobia and engaging widely with Muslim communities.
Our gratitude for their plans to work towards a lasting peace. We offered our deepest condolences to Layla on her recent loss in this tragic war.
We look forward to continuing our work together to serve communities and provide effective representation for British Muslims at this time.
