TL;DR Summary
Pro-Palestinian firebrand George Galloway won a UK by-election in Rochdale, dealing a blow to the main opposition Labour Party, which lost one of its safest parliamentary seats. Galloway's victory came after Labour withdrew support from its candidate over controversial comments about Israel, creating an opportunity for Galloway to appeal to the large Muslim population in the area. His win highlights the need for proper candidate screening and sends a warning to Labour ahead of the upcoming general election.
