The Workers Party of Britain, led by George Galloway, has achieved significant electoral victories in the recent local elections, capturing multiple seats from Labour. Notably, the party won in Manchester's Longsight ward, unseating the deputy leader of Manchester Council, Luthfur Rahman, with Shabaz Sarwar winning the seat. In Rochdale, Farooq Ahmed secured a victory in Central Rochdale, and the party also won the Milkstone and Deeplish ward by a majority of 1,100 votes. Additionally, the party gained a seat in Park Ward, Halifax, with 55% of the vote. These results indicate a strong performance by the Workers Party, particularly in areas with significant Muslim populations, suggesting a shift in voter sentiment in these regions.

The Workers Party led by Galloway is on its way to cause an upset in Britain. It started with one win. It is a reflection of how Brits are fed up with genocidal political parties.
