George Galloway Wins the Rochdale By-Election

Workers Party of Britain candidate wins the Rochdale by-election by almost 6,000 votes

Today, we look at the result from the by-election in Rochdale.

George Galloway from the Workers Party of Britain won with a resounding majority. Independent candidate David Tully came second as Labour and the Conservatives only received just over a quarter of the vote put together to come third and fourth. Is this a clear rejection of Keir Starmer鈥檚 position on Gaza?

Adam is in the studio, Chris is in a bumpy car, and they are joined by pollster, Scarlett Maguire, and North West Tonight Political Editor, Annabel Tiffin.
