GALLOWAY WINS ROCHDALE BY-ELECTION

Former Labour MP George Galloway has won the Rochdale by-election to return to Britain's Parliament.

The controversial politician finished nearly six-thousand votes ahead of his nearest rival after a campaign dominated by the war in Gaza.

Labour removed support from its candidate Azhar Ali because of comments he made about Israel.

The by-election was sparked by the death of the previous MP, Labour's Tony Lloyd.

George Galloway says his victory sends a message to Labour leader Keir Starmer.

In: 'The course...
Out: ...deserves it.'
