If labour weren't so half arsed policy wise and pushing out islamophobic messages themselves there wouldn't be any space for Galloway to operate in.

I've no time for Galloway but when labour were an actual functioning Social Democratic Party, albeit one with a poor leader, Galloway was never at the races. He could very easily have cost labour this seat, maybe next time he will be successful.

Actually looking at the vote share over the years this seat looks a dead cert to go tory in the next GE...Unless Kim can build some bridges with the muslim community.
