It’s not much of a conspiracy, they’re quite open about it.

Evidence?
It’s a bit like asking for evidence of Anglicanism in the traditional conservative vote in Britain, it just is and where do you start.
There is always this ;-)

That’s a secular flag.
And who is the governing party of the Gaza Strip?

They have their own flag with religious symbols, can't see any on display in that photo. Fatah who "control" the West Bank where the majority of Palestinians live are Secularists.
The Palestine flag I was half joking, hence the wink, although it does highlight their alliance with Muslim groups and like Jews used to, Muslims in the main have found their political home in Labour.
Like the feminist vs trans war on the left now, it will end in tears eventually, as Islam is a conservative religion, even more so than Christianity.

I see generalisations again.
at the 2017 election more Christians voted Labour than Conservative. Catholics are more likely to vote Labour, Anglicans more likely to vote Tory...defender of the faith rubbish. Amongst other Christians, support for Labour eclipsed that for the Conservatives (42% versus 38%).Amongst Jews, a strong majority expressed support for the Conservative Party (63%), with around a quarter (26%) saying they voted for Labour. This builds on the plurality support for the Conservative Party shown by Jewish voters at the 2005-2015 general elections. Labour also received a plurality of the vote amongst those belonging to other religions (48%) and those with no religious affiliation (47%). Amongst these two groups, the Conservative vote share was, respectively, 33% and 32%.The traditional support of Anglicans for the Conservative Party is reaffirmed (58% voted for the Tories compared to 28% for Labour).Muslims voted overwhelmingly for Labour, with 85% having preferred for Jeremy Corbyn’s party, and 11% supported the Conservative.
At the last census 4.4% of the country identified as Muslim, 59% as Christian,1.3% Hindu,0.7% Sikh, 0.4% Judaism, 25% as Atheist and 7.2% no religion stated.
Nonsense like Labour panders to the Muslim vote is far right propaganda. The biggest worry for Labour is the collapse of the traditional Catholic vote, this could well explain Labour's demise in Scotland and the rise of the SNP. The protestant loyalist vote will not vote for the SNP Although to be fair I haven't seen any evidence for that.

I thought I’m on ignore? I love the fact everyone who says they have me on ignore is still reading my posts.
Any reason you areusing 2017? Is it because it’s the closest Labour have come recently?
In 2017 58% of Anglicans voted Tory compared with 28% for Labour.
42% of Catholics supported Labour, compared with 40% for the Tories.
Then there is this-
Considering there are more Anglicans than Catholics, I find it hard to believe more Christians vote Labour although I don’t really care, my faith transcends all politics, I’d never vote again nor comment on politics and keep my Bible than give it up and be able to get involved in politics.
The other point is voting Labour is a perfectly natural position for people upon reading the Gospel message. If we’re being completely objective, the New Testament being manifest in politics would look like a social democracy economy that had conservative social views.
The Social Democrats the nearest thing in Britain.
But Christianity should operate outside of politics, unlike Islam which is very much a political movement, as the Quran says.

Of that census the 59% Christian need to be split 51.1% Protestant 7.9% Catholic.
Catholics are still a religous miniroty in this country and mainly come form imigrant families or decendents, predominently of Irish or polish background, and centered in major cities (As our cities like most cities rely on rural migrant and imigrat workforces and wouldn't function without it). As a minority and living and working in major mainly cities and until the last 30 years were still subject to prejudice many would always have supported the party of the working class and poor.
This has shifted slightly as the change to lump us in with the prods and peoples general disinterest in christianity so the sectarianism seen in previous generations in cities like Manchester/Liverpool/Leeds only really is seen in Scotland and NI where the divide is still prominent, not feeling like a represed minority means you don't necessarily choose the party that traditionally makes sense.
Now youcwill see more non practicing christians/left footers vote not in traditional lines or those who want to help the most disadvantaged.
Personally as a lapse catholic, as many others I know are (and christians for that matter) who are only religious because of their baptism and not through praticing faith, I find it unecessary to have a monarch endorsing any faith and we should promote seculism and no national religion. 51.1% Christian and 7.9% catholic masked that most who identify as that are more likely not worshipers but irreligious.
