George Galloway is 'repulsive' claims Kinnock

The former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has said he thinks George Galloway is "repulsive".

Speaking during the BBC's live election coverage on Thursday, Mr Kinnock added: "He always has been."

Mr Galloway, the leader of the Workers Party of Britain, lost his seat in Rochdale on Friday after winning it at a by-election four months ago.

He did not attend the count at Rochdale Leisure Centre to hear the general election result.

After his victory earlier this year, Mr Galloway said: "Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak are two cheeks of the same backside and they both got well and truly spanked."
