Starmer: Galloway only won because Labour didn't stand

Sir Keir Starmer claims George Galloway only won the Rochdale by-election because Labour didn't stand there.

Reacting to Galloway's victory, Mr Starmer said: "I regret that we had to withdraw our candidate and I apologise to voters in Rochdale.

But I took that decision and it was the right decision." Mr Starmer added that the focus should remain on Gaza and getting humanitarian aid into the area.

Labour withdrew its support for Azhar Ali, its candidate for the Rochdale byelection, in the wake of controversial comments he made about the 7 October attacks on Israel.

Yemeni Forces Fire Missile At US Warplane Over Red Sea Amid Rising Tensions In The Middle East

Yemeni forces have reportedly fired a surface-to-air missile (SAM) at a US F-16 warplane flying over the Red Sea on February 19. According to Fox News, another missile targeted an advanced MQ-9 Reaper drone. The attack follows months of Yemeni operations against US and Israeli targets in response to the Gaza war. While the Pentagon claims the missiles missed, Yemen has successfully downed multiple US drones before. This marks an escalation in tensions, as Yemen vows to defend its sovereignty against continued Western airstrikes. #Yemen #RedSea #USMilitary #MissileAttack #F16 #MiddleEast #GazaWar #Pentagon #DroneStrike #YemeniForces #Houthis #USAirforce #IsraelWar #SurfaceToAirMissile #AmericanDrones #MQ9Reaper #Iran #SaudiArabia #WarTensions #NationalSovereignty
