'Racist dogwhistles': Greens condemn Labour over claim they are 'manipulating Muslims'

The UK's Green Party has condemned the Labour Party for using "racist dogwhistles" after being accused of manipulating Muslim voters. The accusation from senior Labour figures, including deputy leader Lucy Powell, came after the Greens released a campaign video in Urdu for a crucial by-election. The Green Party candidate defended the video as inclusive and accused Labour of desperation for claiming that using languages other than English was "whipping up hatred." The dispute is linked to Labour's perceived alienation of its base, with its policy on Gaza being cited as a key factor driving voters toward other parties.
