All politicians want is votes.
Time was (1930 - 1970) when the Left opposed fascism, the Right supported it, and the Muslim vote was too small to matter, so Labour was distinctly pro-Jewish and the feeling was mutual. Now there are ten times more Muslims than Jews in the UK, and some (say 10%) are distinctly anti-Jewish, so it behoves one party to secure that vote, and the other party to secure the equal number of Jewish votes by appearing anti-Muslim. Since most British Muslims have brown skin, it is logical for the party with a pro-fascist history to take the anti-Muslim line.
It doesn't really matter who you choose as the Enemy Within, but it's easier for the Press and the electorate to support you if they are visually identifiable. Remember Enoch Powell?
