Update fae London - George Galloway got a massive 1.2% of the first preference votes :lol:

The Women's Equality Party got more votes than him which is quite fitting !

Not going too well for George in the courts either:

The former MP George Galloway has issued a court apology and agreed to pay damages to his former assistant Aisha Ali-Khan over claims that she helped her former police officer husband run a dirty tricks operation against him and his Respect party.

Galloway, who was beaten into a humiliating seventh place in last month’s election for London mayor, formally withdrew claims he made in 2012 that Ali-Khan helped her former husband, Afiz Khan, to spy on him when Khan was a senior Metropolitan police officer.

His lawyer, Adam Speker, apologised to Ali-Khan at an open hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in front of Mr Justice Warby.

Galloway, who was not in court, has also paid a five-figure sum in damages to settle the claim. The case represents a rare legal blow for Galloway after a string of libel victories.
