Galloway - the big play
The word on the street is that Oona King has lost to George Galloway in Bethnal Green... although Galloway is duff in many respects (no pun intended) it will be good to have him in parliament as a voice against a lot of the more bullshit policies that are being carried out by New Labour, so I can't say I'm particularly disappointed. Also the Bethnal Green result proves that Iraq was not a mere side issue, but a pretty fundamental sticking point for a key proportion of the Labour vote in many of their heartland constituencies. Stephen Twigg's result is about to come in in Enfield Southgate and it looks like he's lost it... 'were you still up for Twigg'? Doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Leaving aside the fact that I utterly despise George Galloway and think his election is a complete tragedy, don't forget that this is a man who hardly ever rebelled in 1997-2001 and told a newspaper that "I'm not as left-wing as you think".
