George Galloway, the newly elected MP for Rochdale, has made his first speech in the House of Commons, marking his return to UK Parliament for the 7th time. In his speech, Galloway criticized both the Labour and Conservative parties, as well as the current budget, and declared, "This is for Gaza," positioning himself as a staunch advocate for the pro-Palestine movement and criticizing the UK's stance on Gaza. He expressed his dedication to the Rochdale community, referencing the town's decline and pledging to address its challenges, including the lack of maternity and hospital emergency services. Galloway's "crushing by-election win" and his subsequent parliamentary actions have sparked discussions about his impact on UK politics, particularly regarding the pro-Palestine movement and local community issues.
