Goerge Galloway has warned Sir Keir Starmer that he has “woken up to his worst nightmare” after winning the Rochdale by-election yesterday.
The former Labour candidate, who was disowned by the party after being accused of antisemitism, came fourth.
George Galloway won the by-election in Rochdale with a majority of 5,697, taking 12,335 votes.
Independent David Tully came second, with 6,638 votes.
Speaking to GB News after the count, Galloway warned: “Keir Starmer has woken up to his worst nightmare”.
Asked if he will try to replicate last night’s victory at a general election, Galloway warned: “Especially in this region. I don’t know what will happen elsewhere in the country, but I have now received deputations from Bolton, from Oldham, from Blackburn, from Bury and from Tameside in Greater Manchester – and that’s just the deputations I’ve received. We’ve got 59 parliamentary candidates ready to go”.
He added: “I know of many already in the field, who will now be energised by the results here tonight.
“I think Keir Starmer has woken up this morning to his worst nightmare.”
