George Galloway, known for his controversial stances, has been elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Rochdale, representing the Workers Party of Britain. His victory has sparked a wide range of reactions, from celebration by his supporters to concern and criticism from various quarters. Galloway, who has previously served as MP for Bradford West, has been a divisive figure due to his outspoken views on Israel, support for Brexit, and opposition to mass immigration. His election win in Rochdale was described as a landslide, and he has been sworn into the House of Commons. Galloway's return to Parliament has been met with warnings from political figures about the potential for increased division, with Labour pledging to win back Rochdale and accusing Galloway of stoking division during the contest. Despite the controversy, Galloway has expressed his intention to make significant interventions in Parliament, including speaking at the upcoming PMQs and budget debate.
'I hope to get the opportunity early, to make the interventions that I plan to make.' George Galloway has said he plans to speak at both PMQs and the budget debate later this week. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604 🖥️ GB News on YouTube: https://t.co/KHMl3BS8eC https://t.co/pumLWqU9FM
