A top Tory minister has suggested George Galloway’s Rochdale by-election win is “not a good thing for the country”.
Greg Hands also described the Workers Party leader as an “opportunist who sows the seeds of division”.
“He doesn’t stay popular, he lost his seat in Bethnal Green and Bow, and he lost his seat in Bradford in the following election. He’s somebody who never delivers for his constituents,” Mr Hands told Good Morning Britain on Tuesday 5 March.
Mr Galloway was sworn in as the new Rochdale MP in the House of Commons on Monday, following his by-election win.
