Jeremy Corbyn claimed Labour lost votes in the general election over the war in Gaza.
The independent MP for Islington North attended a pro-Palestinian march in central London on Saturday (6 July).
The former Labour leader told protesters on stage: “Palestine was on the ballot in this election – and I promise to stay true to my word to stand up for the Palestinian people.”
Mr Corbyn also suggested the pro-Palestinian marches had directly influenced the results of the general election.
He said: “The Labour vote was lower on Thursday than it was in 2019 and 2017, and Labour lost seats to independents – five independents were elected.
“The common thread running through their campaigns was Gaza.”
