Keir Starmer blames George Galloway for Gorton and Denton defeat

KEIR Starmer has blamed Labour’s defeat to the Greens on George Galloway.

The Prime Minister wrote to Labour MPs to claim Zack Polanski’s party were “able to capitalise on an endorsement” from the Workers’ Party leader, PoliticsHome reports.

The extraordinary claim came after Labour finished a distant third behind the new Green MP for Gorton and Denton Hannah Spencer and Reform UK’s Matt Goodwin.

In the letter, Starmer wrote: “We’ve seen the true colours of Zack Polanski’s Greens in this campaign. The Greens were able to capitalise on an endorsement from George Galloway to win over enough voters to push them over the line.

“Their willingness to welcome Galloway's divisive, sectarian politics is a sign that the Greens are not the harmless environmentalists they pretend to be, and their position on legalising all drugs shows how unstable this electoral coalition is. It cannot survive a General Election campaign.”

Galloway’s party, which has only seen one Westminster victory when he was elected as the MP for Rochdale for a brief period before the 2024 General Election, stood aside in Gorton and Denton and backed the Greens.

Labour’s vote collapsed from a majority of 13,413 in 2024 to just 9364. Spencer won on 40.6% with 14,980 votes...
