Following last week’s local elections, it's clear there’s a huge shift happening when it comes to the voting habits of British Muslims across the country. Why are so many British Muslims moving away from the Labour Party? And are they really all going to the Greens? Presenter Rima Ahmed returned to her hometown of Harehills in Leeds, once a Labour stronghold, just before the local elections to speak to ordinary Muslim voters about what's important to them. This episode of Currently... was made by Keiligh Baker. The technical editor was James Beard and the editor was Justine Lang.
