Galloway Wins Rochdale

House of Comments

He's back. George Galloway has stormed to victory in the Rochdale by-election. It will be the fourth constituency he has represented in the House of Commons. Meow. Co-hosts Charlotte Henry and Emma Burnell discuss whether the by-election has wider implications. They also look at the ugly spectre of Islamophobia in the Conservative Party after comments from Lee Anderson.
To finish, they delve into the 13 previously unreleased reports that the Home Office made public in a busy week. Given what is in them, it's no surprise they wanted them to get little attention.
