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.

The vessel, previously rejected by multiple countries, had offloaded its cargo in Egypt. This protest follows similar actions at Istanbul's Ambarli Port and comes amid concerns over these weapons' potential use in Gaza.

In a dramatic turn of events along the southern Lebanese border, Hezbollah fighters have successfully repelled Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) from the eastern neighbourhood of Khiam. Following two days of intense clashes, the Israeli troops were forced to retreat under heavy fire, marking a significant victory for Hezbollah in the ongoing conflict. The withdrawal began after Israeli forces, unable to secure the town, unleashed a barrage of artillery and airstrikes in a bid to cover their retreat. Hezbollah responded with precision, targeting Israeli positions and demonstrating their military resolve. This confrontation underscores the escalating tensions in the region as Hezbollah continues to stand firm against Israeli incursions while expressing solidarity with the people of Gaza. Watch the latest updates and analysis of this unfolding situation.
