Galloway ends on a strong ad hominem note, unmasking Polanski as a former candidate for the Libdems with lots of unnamed skeletons due to tumble out of the cupboard and bring him down.
- Ukrainian rent boys perhaps. He reminds us that the Greens have let bad guys in by splitting the anti bad-guy vote.

Labour are polling favorite because Andy Burnhams PR magic has not yet worn off, as it will when he fails to deliver on growth and and shirks taxing the rich. Many ex-Labour voters still forgive him a lot just for not being Keir Starmer

But there was evidence Polansky might be in with chance. He will have no chance at all if Galloway stands, even if campaigning at a distance. The WP vote will comprise the derisory number who will always vote for a revolutionary socialist party, and the the larger number (thousands) of pro-palestinian voters who will be drawn away from the Greens by the unmatched eloquence of its bandleader

Still,Burnham can read the runes and totalise the pro-Palestine vote. Although he is naturally a friend of Israel, as well as being a Friend of Israel, he may judge he needs that vote
