UK Elections: How the Muslim Brotherhood is Attempting to Use Mosques to Boost the Labour Party


A massive wave of criticism and accusations has targeted the Muslim Brotherhood on platform X, alleging direct interference in British politics and influence over elections through the Labour Party and local Islamic organizations.

According to monitoring by Hefryat, posts linking Prime Minister Keir Starmer to the Muslim Brotherhood have increased on the platform. Some users accused the Labour Party of “selling its soul” to the organization in order to secure what they described as the “Muslim bloc” in key constituencies for the elections scheduled for May.

Activists also mocked official congratulatory messages in the UK on religious occasions, seeing them as a clear political courting of the Brotherhood’s influence networks.

British accounts sparked a broad debate regarding the use of mosques as polling stations in the upcoming local elections, with direct accusations against the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) as the UK face of the Muslim Brotherhood. Some accounts posted warnings urging MPs to watch out for what they called “Muslim Brotherhood infiltration” in the electoral system under the guise of community work.

Posts that received thousands of likes indicated that the Muslim Brotherhood is now providing “advice” to the Home Office and the UK government, warning that this influence could leave Britain at a “losing” position both politically and in terms of security. The posts also noted that the organization relies on certain MPs to push its agenda, particularly in areas such as Manchester and Gorton.

This digital mobilization comes amid pressure from right-wing parties, such as Reform UK, to have the Muslim Brotherhood officially designated as a terrorist organization in London
