| 21. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Thu 8th Feb 2024. 17:49 There’s no doubt the SNP are having their toughest test in Scottish politics but it must be remembered, the people in Government who are felt to have let many people down do not represent the wider party or movement for independence in general. If they get rid of the deadwood and get people to get the party back on track they can survive the next election with reduced members Let’s not forget either that polls are still around 50/50 for independence so what choice to people have? Labour, Tories and Libs are a big red line if you vote for independence Alba are not close to being credible enough and I say that as a fan of Alex Salmond as a politician and all he achieved over the past 40 years. The SNP though need to regroup and focus on their prime directive and welcome other independence minded parties into their cause and stop focusing on what is best for the SNP but for Scotland Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte  Reply |

When it comes to lies, nobody does it better than the filthy Tory Gov….. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply |
| 23. Author: McCaig`s Tower Date: Sun 11th Feb 2024. 20:51 Returning to Rochdale, I see the Labour Party candidate has made a bit of a gaffe (I assume accidentally) which may lose him a few votes. Or perhaps not. Reply |

| 25. Author: Parboiled Date: Mon 12th Feb 2024. 11:51 That wasn’t a bit of a gaffe. Labour would surely have dumped him but it’s too late now. Open goal for Tories but a warm welcome from the Corbynistas Edit; if he’d said that after being elected he would have had the whip removed. He might have it removed on day one..

| 28. Author: OzPar Date: Mon 12th Feb 2024. 22:53 You are quite correct, Busspasspar. Very suss indeed. As I said in the OP, George Galloway should win this by-election at a canter. I am not his biggest fan, but I will celebrate. Kier Starmer is a disaster for Labour - Tony Blair on steroids. Labour lost its authenticity when it kicked out Corbyn. These are grim times when a nation needs a genuine alternative to more years of Tory rule. Not Conservatism by another name. Reply |

| 34. Author: Tenruh Date: Fri 1st Mar 2024. 05:29 Apologies it`s the only clip available. Pity he`s an arch unionist, but hayho he`s going after the infiltrator of which should be the party of the working class. 100 more murdered in Gaza last night only trying to get food for the starving. https://youtu.be/ciztkhjugx8?si=nfypibm7qjpa1s-a Post Edited (Fri 01 Mar 05:45) Reply |

| 37. Author: OzPar Date: Sat 2nd Mar 2024. 12:07 I think what George Galloway has done is incredibly brave. He has many enemies out there in the right-wing and zionist communities who would be prepared to resort to violence against him. Ten years ago, a Jewish drug addict viciously attacked him in Notting Hill, leaving him with serious head injuries - that`s why he wears the hat. Who`s to say history won`t repeat itself? Already, we can see that he has created panic in the Tory and Labour parties. The British political establishment is out to get him, and before very long he will be infuriuating the Israelis and the Americans. He certainly knows how to pick enemies! I hope he is well protected. Reply |
| 38. Author: allparone Date: Sat 2nd Mar 2024. 12:58 I would think that George will only be there until the general election. He got half the votes that the Labour candidate got at the last election. Starmer was probably correct when he said that the only reason George Galloway won was that there was no credible Labour candidate standing. Reply |
| 39. Author: wee eck Date: Sat 2nd Mar 2024. 13:31 Apparently his attendance record was very poor during his previous spells as an MP but he`ll be happy to pick up his £80k+ salary with associated perks and pension rights. My abiding memory was seeing him crawling around in a catsuit on Big Brother. It`s difficult to take any politician seriously after that. Reply |
| 40. Author: OzPar Date: Mon 4th Mar 2024. 22:44 George Galloway has made it clear that his Workers Party will be standing candidates in many key seats at the next general election, and where independents hold a good chance of winning, he will be giving them his support. He has indicated that he would like Jeremy Corbyn to lead this broad coalition opposed to Labour and the Tories. If this were to pass, could this constitute a genuine challenge to the established two-party system? Galloway`s colourful description of them being two cheeks of the same backside increasingly sounds accurate on many issues. Is a Corbyn-led third party a viable alternative to Labour or the Tories?
