‘This is for Gaza’: Galloway sweeps to victory in Rochdale
Galloway Rochdale win

A TRIUMPHANT George Galloway told Sir Keir Starmer today “this is for Gaza” after sweeping to a sensational victory in the Rochdale by-election.

Mr Galloway took the seat with 40 per cent of the poll and a majority of nearly 6,000 over the runner-up, independent businessman David Tully. His win can be attributed to a massive revolt, primarily among Rochdale’s Muslim community, against Labour’s backing for Israel’s Gaza genocide.

Mr Galloway declared to Sir Keir after the results were announced in the early hours of this morning: “You have paid and you will pay a high price for the role you have played in enabling, encouraging and covering for the catastrophe presently going on in occupied Palestine in the Gaza Strip.
