Labour’s 9,668 majority in Greater Manchester seat challenged by Galloway’s Gaza-focused campaign
“George Galloway all the way!” cried Ali Dar, the assistant manager of Rochdale Chunky Chicken. “He came here a few days ago, he went in all the shops, and every person, even on social media, is voting for him. I voted last time Labour, but this time: definitely George Galloway.”
Until now, he said, “the Asian community was supporting Labour unconditionally”. But not in the byelection on 29 February, because of Keir Starmer’s refusal to back an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
