George Galloway wins Rochdale by-election as ex-Labour candidate finishes fourth

George Galloway sealed a shock return to front line British politics on Thursday night as he stormed to victory in the Rochdale by-election.

The Workers Party leader claimed his fourth Parliamentary seat and will return to Westminster after almost a decade in the wilderness.

He secured a comfortable 5,697 majority with Azhar Ali, the candidate who Labour ditched over an anti-Semitism row, pushed into fourth place.
