More like Muslim on Labour. And hence why it is so damaging.

And with another potential by-election in the offing, dependent on the outcome of a court case, in a heavily Muslim area, I suspect Mr Galloway will be out and about to cause mischief and mayhem once again.

I don't thin k Labour can produce more seats with the same levers in play :

Relative of murdered MP as candidate actually from the area.

Hancock effect.

Opportunity to use divisive anti Conservative tropes about India ( leaflets featuring PM with Indian PM )

I don't think GG will succeed in his attempt if any to replicate a Woolass situation.

Food for thought that there are constituencies in the UK that are seemingly more concerned with ethnic / religious issues overseas than domestic issues.

Let's see what the new MP says about the teacher in hiding, if anything.

It's over so thread has served it's purpose

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

"Labour ran a divisive campaign that exploited ethnic divisions in the constituency.
They scraped a win,losing 9,000 votes, and have reacted as though they have won the General Election.

Nice of you to be so gracious in defeat, when her sister was killed for doing her job.

Galloway took 8000 votes, the majority of which would probably have gone to labour"

With respect the murder of Jo Cox was truly appalling and the killer should have been shot,drawn,quartered and shot again.Her sister Kim Leadbeater and family must have gone through hell and I felt for all of them.

However, this should not prevent me from highlighting the Labour divisive campaign tactics.
Labour scraped through with a majority in the hundreds in a seat they already held, yet Starmer announces that they are "Back" !!!

The Conservative performance was poor relative to expectation. However, the party’s share of the vote was all but static, falling by less than two per cent.

You could argue that Labour selecting Leadbetter who was not qualified under Labour rules was a blatant desperate attempt to get a sympathy vote, and it worked.
