Radical Muslim election candidates in Birmingham handed out sweets to celebrate Iran‘s ‘success’ against ‘the Zionists’,
In a video posted online, Wajad Burkey and Sardar Khan, both members of George Galloway’s Workers Party of Britain, posed with a box of sweets and praised Iran after it blocked the Strait of Hormuz and secured a ceasefire in the war with Israel and the US.
The shocking footage comes amid growing fears that after 14 years of disastrous Labour rule, England’s second city is on the brink of falling under the control of a coalition of sectarian Muslim politicians.
The Workers Party in Birmingham has formed a pact with the pro–Gaza Independent Candidate Alliance (IAC), led by Akhmed Yakoob, a Lamborghini–driving lawyer with a large following on TikTok.
Polls suggest that with no party expected to win an outright majority, the Workers Party and IAC could form one of the biggest groups on the city council – and potentially be kingmakers in any coalition deal.
The MoS has discovered that radical politicians in Birmingham are declaring their support for Iran as part of their pitch to voters.
Mr Khan, a candidate in Bromford & Hodge Hill … to celebrate Iran’s resistance… said: ‘Today we are celebrating the success of [the] Iranian government against the Zionists. So, Brother Sardar Khan, the councillor candidate for Hodge Hill, has brought sweets and is distributing sweets everywhere. Congratulations to the whole Muslim world for a huge success for Iran,’
