Rochdale's new MP has been busy in Parliament - but he's also found time to spread 'vile conspiracy theories' on his talk show
One month ago, all eyes were firmly fixed on Rochdale for a by-election like no other. Firebrand former MP George Galloway, who won a thumping majority with 40 per cent of the vote, returned to Parliament for a seventh time in his career the following week.
It was also on this show that Mr Galloway was accused of spreading 'vile conspiracy theories' about Kate Middleton. Posting a clip from his show on X, formerly Twitter, on March 14, he wrote: "What are the royals covering up? Is she dead or has she downed tools?" Mr Galloway is living in Rochdale now, according to his spokesperson. He does not have a constituency office yet, but is holding weekly surgeries with constituents at cafes in Rochdale with security guards stationed at the door, his spokesperson explained.
However, he was not called to speak at PMQs. Instead, his first contribution came the following week during a debate on the budget. Mr Galloway took the opportunity to discuss the war in Gaza in another debate the following week. The next day, he criticised the amount of money being spent by the UK to fight wars in foreign lands.
Commenting afterwards, Mr Waugh told the M.E.N.: "George Galloway said he'd speak up for the people of Rochdale on Gaza, yet just weeks into the job he is already failing his basic duty to actually turn up to the Commons to represent them on this very issue." But first, the party is focusing on the local elections in May. Mr Galloway has said that he would work with local businessman Dave Tully - who remarkably came second in the by-election as an independent candidate - to kick Labour councillors out of Rochdale.
