Labour is set to lose the West Midlands Mayoral election because of anger among Muslim voters over its stance on Gaza, party sources fear, adding to the shock loss in Oldham and struggles elsewhere.
George Galloway and Lee Anderson are exactly what Westminster has been claiming to want and need for the past 15 years. And yet both have now been made political outlaws for patently obscure reasons, says J. Sorel.
In the latest episode of the Weekly Sceptic, the talking points are George Galloway's shock by-election victory, Rishi Sunak's 'healing' speech outside No 10 and Sam Melia's two-year sentence for... 'far Right' stickers.
The police are investigating Chris Williamson, a former Labour MP and the current Deputy Leader of George Galloway's Workers Party of Britain, after he said that Israel "has forfeited any right to exist".
The PM has made a speech outside Downing Street warning that "extremist forces" on the Left and the Right are "trying to tear us apart". In spite of his stab at 'both side-ism', he clearly has Islamic extremists in mind.
George Galloway's by-election win is a protest against Broken Britain, says Luke Tryl, as a poll shows that two-thirds of voters believe the cost of living is the key issue, while just 8% prioritise the Middle East crisis.
