David Weaver, chair of Operation Black Vote, warned that Labour faces "deep trouble" with Black voters due to proposed jury reforms that would increase racial disproportionality in the justice system and slow progress on equality initiatives. Weaver stated Black voters feel the party is "accepting the normalisation of racism" and risked losing support in marginal constituencies as communities shift focus toward grassroots activism rather than national electoral politics.
