George Galloway tipped as bookies' favourite in Rochdale by-election
GEORGE GALLOWAY has been tipped as bookies’ favourite to win the Rochdale by-election on February 29.
The improved odds for Mr Galloway come after Labour’s campaign in the town collapsed when the party withdrew its support for its own candidate.
The one-time Labour and Respect Party MP, now standing as a candidate for the Workers’ Party of Britain, said he is confident of becoming Rochdale’s next MP.
