PM: Rochdale by-election 'one of the most divisive'

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has reacted to George Galloway's by-election victory, saying it was "one of the most divisive in recent times".

Asked whether Galloway's victory would cause tensions, Sunak said it was "very concerning to see reports of intimidation".

"I'm pleased that the Conservative Party was the only party to run a really positive campaign focused on local issues with a great local candidate, Paul Ellison," Mr Sunak added.
