Four councillors in Birmingham have resigned from the Labour Party, expressing concerns over the party's stance on key issues such as the conflict in Gaza and the United Kingdom's arms exports to Israel. In their statement, the councillors criticised Labour's response to the humanitarian crisis, citing a lack of moral leadership and a failure to stand up for peace and justice. They also voiced disappointment with the party's internal culture, saying it no longer reflects the values of a democratic grassroots movement. Despite their departure, the councillors affirmed their ongoing commitment to serving their communities and thanked constituents for their support. The local council leader responded by emphasising Labour's ambitions for Birmingham and its focus on delivering positive change for the city.
