Newly elected Rochdale MP Galloway, who has been voted in seven times for Labour, the Respect Party and his new Workers Party of Britain, butted heads with Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid in an explosive ITV interview. The 69-year-old Dundonian appeared to be irritated as he was asked about comments made by Rishi Sunak , who said Galloway's victory was 'beyond alarming' because he 'dismisses the horror of October 7'. And he warred with the presenters after they chose to pick him up on comments made in 1994 to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, to whom he said: 'Sir, I salute your courage, your strength, your indefatigability.'

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: It's a'friendly fire' when US troops kill humanitarian workers. When Israel does, it is a "war crime." The double standards are obnoxious

I received the call when I was leaving Twickenham after an England rugby international in March 2003. Terry Lloyd, my old friend and the outstanding ITN reporter, was killed in Iraq. He was on the outskirts of Basra, albeit with a 4x4 that had clearly marked 'TV'. It was determined that the fatal shot had been shot by a US soldier who has never been identified as the fog of war was lifted. Terry's translator died and his French cameraman was missing, but he was presumed dead. Terry was unlawfully killed by American troops, according to his lawyer, he was the perpetrator of a'very serious war crime.' No one was ever charged.

Barefoot Investors received a scathing warning from a Barefoot Investor that Australians are buying the most modern technology-enabled vehicles

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 21, 2024
Scott Pape (inset), who wrote the best-selling financial advice book The Barefoot Investor in 2016, argued that new 'internet-enabled cars' in the United States often broadcast statistics about speeding, braking, and swerving with insurance companies. This information may result in an increase in drivers' insurance premiums. Mr Pape recently posted on his blog about his joyless experience riding a "Chinese-built Haval Jolion SUV" (main) to illustrate his argument.

WOUNDERS OF THE PYRAMID: Kieran McKenna deserved a award for keeping the Tractor Boys up to speed in the league's high-speed leagues, and he should be in the discussion for season's boss

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 8, 2024
WODEN OF THE PYRAMID: McKenna, 37, has been named the league manager of the season by the League Managers Association, after being named by Chris Wilder in 2019, the last time a non-Premier League manager in 2019. At the very least, he ought to be in the conversation with some top-flight heavyweights. After 17 seasons in the second class, the Northern Irishman, who retired from playing in his early 20s, cut his teeth teaching at Manchester United, first working alongside Ole Gunnar Solskjaer before being moved to Ipswich and then to League One.

The DAILY MAIL COMMENT: The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom stands out after a bleak day for democracy

DAILY MAIL COMMENT: British politics can often be strange and tumultuous. Yesterday, it was doubly so. Dawn celebrated a by-election victory for one of the country's most volatile and divisive political figures. The Prime Minister made a plea for peace as the sun rose.

This is a tragedy for Britain, because the Conservative and Labour parties are struggling to stand up for our values, writes ex Labour MP IAN AUSTIN

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 1, 2024
George Galloway's reelection isn't limited to Rochdale, but it is also a national disaster. For decades, the veteran rabble-rouser has poisoned politics with violent extremism. After Galloway ordered British troops to'refuse to obey unlawful orders' in Iraq, Tony Blair was kicked out of the Labour Party. He was fired by Talk TV for suspected anti-Semitism. The sight of him groveling in front of Iraqi tyrant Saddam Hussein was particularly alarming. On Big Brother, it was almost as bad as the sight of him pretending to be a cat. (both were shown above).

Meet George Galloway, the fedora-wearing, Pro-Gaza firebrand who gave Starmer a bloody nose: Four-times married new Rochdale MP boasts a love life as stormy as his political career (and pretended to be a milk-licking cat on Celebrity Big Brother)

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 1, 2024
Sir Keir Starmer's landslide victory in Rochdale last night, which was another major change in his career. He is back in the big time after 18 years to the day, when he embraced Sir Jimmy Savile and embarrassed himself as he licked pretend milk out of actress Rula Lenska's hand. As the conflict between Israel and Hamas rages, Mr Galloway has won one of the most tumultuous by-elections in recent times by mainly attacking Muslim voters and being pro-Palestine. His only real goals seemed to be to return a maternity hospital and a Primark. Rochdale is the seventh parliamentary victory for the constituency-hopping politician. He has been married four times and had six children in those four decades. A king of choosing sides, often with a lot of controversies, is more likely to support President Putin's Russia and the Ayatollahs' Iran than those leading Britain. When Sergei Skripal was poisoned with Novichok in Salisbury, Galloway, Galloway, went on television to say that Russia should be on the 'bottom of the list' of suspects. He has worked for Labour, Independent Labour, Respect, and now the Workers Party of the United Kingdom, whose campaign literature has proclaimed that the fedora-hatted firebrand was a mentor to Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, and Yasser Arafat. Galloway's tour to Iraq's murderous tyrant Saddam Hussein in the 1990s sparked a lot of people, but he never claimed that his remarks were directed to the Iraqi civilians. And though Hussein and the rest of his comrades are dead, Galloway is still alive and kicking. 'George is important again,' one supporter said today.'

How the world executes its worst criminals: Methods of capital punishment used around the world from public beheading and stoning to nitrogen gas and Chinese death vans

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 25, 2024
The uptick of capital punishment in recent years, as well as the brutality of methods used around the world, has brought state-sanctioned executions back to the forefront. Wide reports indicate that thousands of people are killed every year in a horrific 'conveyer belt' of death, with the Chinese Communist Party adopting anachronisms such as firing squads and mobile death vans to expedite state executions. The United States has been charged with the industrial murder of civilians, which has been chastised by human rights organizations for regulating an increase in the number of crooks put to death by various lethal means.

Almost two years since Russia's annexation, LORD ASHCROFT has announced that if we steadfast our resolve to help Ukraine, we will prevail and we'll all be in a much more difficult situation

www.dailymail.co.uk, February 10, 2024
LORD ASHCROFT: Why are we fighting Ukraine's war for them?' It's an inane remark that makes me enrage every time I hear it. It would be far more logical for Ukrainian servicemen on the frontline to opine, 'Why are we fighting the West's war for them?' When Ukraine faced a full-scale revolt by Russia two years ago, it could be argued that the West had already let the country down. Since Ukraine has received significant help from the United States, the United Kingdom, and other Western countries, there is little doubt we could and should have done more. On Saturday, February 24, Ukraine's people awakened the discovery that thousands of enemy troops were spilling across the Russian and Belarus border in the hopes of resurrecting Europe's second-largest nation in days. Ukraine was able to defeat the invaders sweeping into its capital, Kyiv, thanks to a combination of heroic bravery from its Armed Forces and tactical blunders from its Russian allies, preventing the invaders from sweeping into Kyiv, where the invaders had triggered a major withdrawal within weeks. Since then, war has raged unabated, with more than half a million civilians on both directions killed or wounded.

After an American drone killed a Iran-backed militia commander, the US is under pressure to withdraw from the coalition with Iraq

The burning wreck of the car that Wissam Mohammed 'Abu Bakr' al-Saadi had been travelling in when it was struck by an American drone, according to dramatic photos. In Baghdad, the commander of Kataib Hezbollah's operations was assassinated with two other members of the group. Washington ordered the strike in revenge for attacks on US troops in the area, but Iraqi authorities have condemned the 'blatant assassination' in a residential neighborhood. Following the strike on Wednesday evening, crowds were seen swarming the car, as local authorities warned that the attacks could bring an end to the US-led coalition in the region.

In our youth, my sister and I were forced to marry strangers.' That's why I fought so hard to change the law': Meet the inspirational woman who campaigned to raise the marriage age to protect girls from abuse after her sister was tragically killed

Payzee Mahmod (pictured left), a teen who is worried about her sister's death, likes to recall them singing together in their bunk beds. Payzee and Banaz (right) were so similar that strangers thought they were twins. They exchanged clothes and make-up. They straightened each other's hair and expressed their hopes for the future. Payzee holds these times close because she has another, horrific memory - that of her sister's body in a hospital morgue. 'The cops didn't want to see her,' Payzee, now 32, says. I fought, but I refused.' "It was the only way I could really believe she was dead." Banaz, 20, had been killed on the orders of her family in a so-called 'honour murder' after divorced her husband and starting a new one. Rahmat Sulemani, her daughter's nascent, was so ill that he took his own life later.

PETER HITCHENS: Our hostility to Iran has only helped keep the ghastly Mullahs in power

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 3, 2024
Why do we make such a bogeyman out of Iran?What is the British interest in keeping up hostility between us and that country?What good has it done us and is it justified? The matter is always urgent, but after the assassination of Saleh al-Arouri, a Hamas envoy to Iranian-backed Hizbollah in Beirut, is more relevant than ever. The assassination, which is suspected of being Israel, may have been intended to bring Iran into the smouldering conflict between Israel and Hamas. Israel's hostility against Iran has been denied and straight explained, but the two countries' long-term relationship has been tense. The Iranian regime has been strongly anti-Israel since 1979, and Israel has retaliated the rage.

We deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan years ago, but we are still losing men: Veterans from the War on Terror who have struggled since returning home reveal how suicide still ravages the men they served with

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 31, 2023
The horrors of the War on Terror didn't end for Army Staff Sergeant Mark Kershaw or his team after two deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was on the front lines in some of the world's most unpredictable places as a member of the 82nd Airborne. He was killed and wounded, but the casualty rate wasn't until he returned home - away from the rebels, the gunfights, and the ground brimming IEDs - that was the problem. Since being hospitalized in 2013, he has lost more men from suicide than he did during war. On average, one member of his platoon kills themselves each year. Kershaw's own struggle and the regular questions about why the guys he served with decided to end their lives prompted him to investigate a fresh perspective. Wade Spann, a Marine, and Army veteran John 'Michael' Gomez and Omar Hernandez to talk about Tribal life.

Smoke and mirrors: How world leaders from Vladimir Putin, Joseph Stalin and Saddam Hussein 'had body doubles' in bid to avoid danger, confuse the enemy and portray an image of good health

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 25, 2023
The idea of world leaders using doubles is not new. Doubles and decoys can be a handy tool in preventing assassination for figures in power and intelligence officials surrounding them. Vladimir Putin is not the first Russian president to have used a body double. Felix Dadaev, a prominent supporter of Joseph Stalin's regime in 2008, came forward to share a revealing tale of his time as a soldier in Moscow.

PETER HITCHENS: How the wise men lifted my gloom at Christmas in bandit-ridden Baghdad

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 23, 2023
HITCHENS: Of all the bizarre, sad, and postponed Christmases I've encountered in the wake of my strange work as a journalist, the oddest was 20 years ago, when the Iraqi tyrant Saddam Hussein was captured by the Americans in a hole in the ground. For the second time this year, I rushed to Baghdad, leaving Europe and its cheerful lights behind for the dimness of the war-blasted, electricity-free capital. I remember being compelled to change planes in Vienna, where the airport was brimming with Christmas and merriment, and I was sunk in the most hopeless gloom. I had hoped that one trip to post-war Iraq would be sufficient. The area was clearly dooming. A suspicious invasion had been followed by another hapless occupation. Many low points, the lowest a mass grave of Saddam's victims, had been laid to rest, and those who had discovered it hoped that the war would have ignited the suspicions of people like me who had doubted it. It didn't do this. The scene was rioting and deeply sad, but it did not justify this massive conflict (now being largely ignored), in which so many more mass graves would be dug and filled.

He is expected to rule Kuwait as the country's king.

Detectives have charged Kazem 'Kaz' Hamad, 39, with a huge Middle Eastern organised crime network that is running amok in the city as he removes the strings from foreign sanctuaries like Dubai.
