Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock wasted no time laying into George Galloway after watching the Rochdale MP lose his seat.

The Workers Party of Britain leader won the seat in a February by-election, but just months later is handing it to Paul Waugh, who secured 13,047 votes.

“I’m delighted! Galloway is repulsive, he always has been”, Kinnock laughed about their time together. “He was never a thorn in my side because he didn’t count...I couldn’t find a good reason to chuck him out.”
