    Galloway is only interested in promoting himself. He'll always pick the side that will get him the most publicity. Be it IRA, Saddam Hussein, Syria or Palestine.

    If everyone was wearing hats, he wouldn't. Just to look different and stand out.

    Disgusting specimen.

      Guys, being against a war is pro-Sadam Hussein now. Oh BTW that war went really really badly and he was vindicated in the end, but fuck him for trying to stop a conflict that killed over a million civilians.

      He claimed that he wears a hat following a hammer attack which left him hospitalised and severely scarred.

      Is it bad if someone does something good for selfish reasons? Sure it would be nice if everyone was a paragon of virtue but I'd rather have a smarmy prick trying to stop wars because it strokes his ego than a smooth-taking establishment-backer who won't change the status quo in case it hurts the economy.

    Imagine if he joins forces with Corbyn and brings back Livingston. A proper Workers Against Neoliberale Kleptocrats Electing Radical Socialism party! Starmer would be worried then!

    Starmer’s party also faced a challenge from another former Labour MP in the form of Simon Danczuk, who was suspended from the party in 2015 after sending inappropriate messages to a teenager. Danczuk, Rochdale’s MP from 2010 to 2017, was standing for Reform UK, the anti-immigration party founded by Nigel Farage.

    Reform had fewer votes than the Lib Dem's, that's barely a challenge.

    Will this seat be up for re-election during the upcoming General Election, or does it get a pass for being so recent?
