Two more Blackburn councillors leave in protest over the party's position to sit as independents.
Two more councillors have resigned from Labour in protest over the party's stance on the Israel-Gaza war.Mr Desai criticised Labour's leadership as "unwilling to call out atrocities" against civilians in Gaza.
In a letter, Mr Desai wrote that the conflict "continues to claim many, many innocent civilian lives"."However I also condemn the disproportionate and indiscriminate attacks on innocent Palestinian people and civilian infrastructure, the displacement of millions and the many breaches of international law - all lives are valuable."
He described his latest requests as "straightforward", adding that he thought Sir Keir should call for an immediate ceasefire and "condemn the atrocities being committed by Israel".
