not a man to be trusted and not one that does the left any favours. unsurprising result however... the reason he won is because kier starmer has endorsed war crimes and that's a vote loser

untitled: "the reason he won is because kier starmer has endorsed war crimes and that's a vote loser" - err could it possibly be that "Labour" failed even to beat the Tories because they had to jettson their man for antisemitism?

jettison!

You don't think the fact there was no Labour candidate to elect had an impact on who folk voted for?

Untitled

that candidate was not the one running for labour. i suspect labour would have done much better had starmer shown an ounce of moral leadership over the atrocities in gaza

Newmodarmy; Labour did not have a 'dog in the fight'. The party withdrew their support for Azhar Ali due to "deeply offensive comments he made about Israel". He later apologised but had to stand as an independent. The Labour Logo was beside his name on the ballot forms but the deadline had passed meaning Labour could not field a replacement candidate.

i thought they had replaced him corby?

I believe he had a brief stint as a young man working in a tyre factory and then becoming a trade union leader (much easier!).

Apart from that, the 'Leader' of The Worker's Party has never worked and he is representing a body of people who are mostly on benefits !!

You couldn't make it up.

untitled: " i suspect labour would have done much better had starmer shown an ounce of moral leadership over the atrocities in gaza" - you mean joined you in supporting Hamas?

Untitled

i do not support hamas at all tora so retract that

I notice in the results all candidates had the party they were ssociated with. The 'Labour' one just listed as 'on the ballot as a Labour candidate', which I can understand as the party cut their support; but for the Green candidate it said " on the ballot as a Green candidate. Had Greens disowned their candidate too?

Azhar Ali (on the ballot as a Labour candidate) - 2,402

Mark Coleman (Independent) - 455

Simon Danczuk (Reform UK) - 1,968

Iain Donaldson (Liberal Democrats) - 2,164

Paul Ellison (Conservative) - 3,731

George Galloway (Workers Party of Britain) - 12,335

Michael Howarth (Independent) - 246

William Howarth (Independent) - 523

Guy Otten (on the ballot as a Green candidate) - 436

Ravin Rodent Subortna (Monster Raving Loony Party) - 209

David Anthony Tully (Independent) - 6,638

Turnout was 39.7%.

Perhaps you should say tacit support of Hams TTT?

Untitled

you can retract as well youngmafbog. i do not support hamas at all. i could not express this any more clearly.

09:11 well you do a good impression of it. All your posts criticise Israel for responding to the Hamas attrocities of 7/10. As many have said, they stay in bed that day and all this goes away.

newmodarmy

I'm not sure I see why anyone can be sure it was anti war (well anti Israel /prop Gaza/Palestine, Muslims) who voted in large numbers for Galloway- surely those voters would have agreed with and voted forwith the disowned Labour candidate who ticked alll the same boxes- now that would have sent a message to Sir Keir Starmer
