Labour trying to reconnect with British Indians amid fears support has slumped

Party has hired two community outreach volunteers and will send two shadow ministers to India

Labour is overhauling its outreach efforts to British Indians, amid concern that the party’s support among the country’s largest ethnic minority has slumped in recent years.

Keir Starmer’s party has taken a series of measures designed to reconnect with British Indians, including hiring two community outreach volunteers, revamping the Labour Friends of India group and organising a trip to India for two of its senior shadow ministers.
