Labour release leaflets telling non-English speakers how to vote

This week Labour was accused of hypocrisy for allowing gender-segregated seating at a party rally. While the party have since defended their position claiming ‘there was no forced segregation’, many have accused Labour of pandering to the Muslim vote.

Now word reaches Steerpike that Labour activists working alongside Gavin Shuker, the Labour Co-operative MP for Luton South, are posting leaflets to the local community which tell non-English speakers exactly how to vote. The flyer helpfully includes instructions telling the reader to vote by placing an X ‘next to every candidate with the Labour logo’:

Of course no instructions as of yet on how to vote if you are a non-English speaker who doesn’t wish to plump for Ed Miliband.
