Labour were the victims of a major scalp in Manchester’s council elections this year after its deputy leader was ousted by George Galloway’s Workers Party of Britain.
Coun Luthfur Rahman lost his Longsight seat by 185 votes following a bitter campaign where shouting matches have reportedly taken place between rival camps. Speaking after the result, new Workers Party councillor Shahbaz Sarwar believed half of his support came from the Labour Party’s stance nationally on the conflict in Israel and Gaza, and the other half on local issues.
“We will beginning from scratch,” Coun Sarwar said when asked on his plans for Longsight. “There’s a lot of work [to do] — the streets are as filthy as hell.”

He also said he was ‘waiting for George’ to celebrate his win, adding he was also ‘in need of a long rest’. Shortly after the win, George Galloway, Workers Party leader and Rochdale MP, arrived at the Manchester Central convention centre after ‘spending £75 on a taxi to hug his candidate’ and enjoy a ‘mango lassi’ together.
“This is a historic victory,” Mr Galloway declared. “The deputy leader of the city council of the greatest city in England has been toppled by a candidate standing for the first time.”
Despite the loss, Manchester’s Labour council leader Bev Craig believed her party had enjoyed a good result. She told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “We have 86 out of 96 seats, and I’m really pleased about my own re-election. We have lost a seat and gained a seat so we stay at 86, making us the largest Labour group in the country.”
Coun Craig said she would not ‘jump to knee jerk reactions’
