YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMohammed is a first-time caller from Rochdale. He felt compelled to ring in to Sangita Myska's show to explain why he voted for George Galloway in last night's by-election.
The former Labour MP romped to victory, securing 6,000 more votes than second placed candidate, the independent David Tully.
Sir Keir Starmer has said that George Galloway only won because Labour didn't stand a candidate, as he vowed to fight back at the general election.
Labour had initially expected a straightforward path to victory in the vote, called after the death of incumbent Sir Tony Lloyd in January, but that changed when it emerged that its candidate, Azhar Ali, had pushed anti-Israel conspiracies.
Labour then withdrew its support Mr Ali, who came in fourth behind even Conservative Paul Ellison.
Speaking to LBC after his victory, Mr Galloway said he would give the Labour leader a "piece of my mind" if he bumped into him in Parliament.
"I'd say [to Starmer] that the course of action you have embarked upon in your 'unqualified support' for Israel...is going to lead your party to disaster," he told LBC.
