What's New Pussycat?

The Independent reports on George Galloway being shown the door by voters in Bradford West, but the big question is what will this infamous 'political carpetbagger' do next?

I have no idea, perhaps he will spend more time on Russia Today or perhaps stand in the election to replace Boris Johnson as Mayor of London, but either way George looks like a tired old pussycat these days. 

But the truth is that the voters of Bradford have finally seen through George and told him to get on his bike.

George Galloway loses Bradford West to Naz Shah: People ask where his cat outfit is



The former Respect Party MP had led a victory procession through Bradford before the votes were counted

By HELEN NIANIAS - The Independent

George Galloway lost in a stunning defeat to Labour's Naz Shahin his former Bradford West seat.

The Respect Party candidate - who once pretended to be a cat when he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006 - won 8,557 votes to Shah’s 19,977.

Galloway has attracted controversy during his career. Bradford West was his fourth constituency. He was expelled from the Labour Party in 2003 after being found guilty of four out of five charges of bring the party into disrepute. In 2012, Galloway was criticised for saying that accused rapist Julian Assange was merely being accused of "bad sexual etiquette".

Naz Shah came to the attention of the public earlier this year when she wrote of being forced to marry as a teenager. Galloway accused her of lying about the details.

Many social media pundits expressed joy that he had lost his seat.

During his defeat speech, Galloway said: “I don’t begrudge the Labour members here their moment of celebration of course.

"But there will be others who are already celebrating: the venal, the vile, the racists and the Zionists will all be celebrating. The hyena can bounce on the lion’s grave but it can never be a lion and in any case, I’m not in my grave. As a matter of fact I’m going off now to plan the next campaign."
