Only notably Roger Godsiff who was a conservative Labour MP and his support had little to do with the 'community'.

He was the only one very vocal about it, and this was probably for purely cynical reasons - backfired, though. Shabana Mahmood was more subtly supportive, and this may be why she is presently a backbencher despite having exactly the sort of profile (frontbench and constantly rising under Miliband, backbench under Corbyn) that Starmer tends to give jobs to. There was some annoyance that she commented at all as it wasn't a constituency matter for her. The leadership of the City Council was particularly seething IIRC - felt that she was interfering and undermining them when it wasn't any of her business. In terms of local politicians, well, you had people like Salma Yaqoob who gave soft but clear support to the protesters while putting on a different face to other audiences, but then she's not 'Labour' even if she is for the moment a party member. City councillors from the Mirpuri community were split in different directions, which is usually the way when there's a blow-up like this because this is a community with as many different tendencies and worldviews as any other.
