A senior Houthi leader has namechecked newly-elected MP George Galloway in a message blaming Rishi Sunak for the first sinking of a rebel-attacked vessel in the Red Sea.
The Belize-registered Rubymar was struck by an anti-ship ballistic missile on 18 February and sunk at around 2.15am on Saturday.

Senior Houthi leader Mohammed Ali al Houthi wrote on X that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the UK government are responsible for the sinking - and the environmental disaster that will likely ensue.
“We say to Sunak you and your government bear responsibility Ship M/V Rubymar and the responsibility to support genocide and siege in Gaza.”
Having falsely claimed the vessel was UK-owned, the militant leader also said Mr Sunak has a “chance to salvage” it, by “sending a letter of guarantee… signed by George Galloway, that the relief trucks agreed upon at that time would enter Gaza”.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
A senior Houthi leader has namechecked newly-elected MP George Galloway in a message blaming Rishi Sunak for the first sinking of a rebel-attacked vessel in the Red Sea.
Houthi rebels, who control parts of Yemen, have been attacking vessels in the Red Sea since November in what they say is a show of solidarity for the people of Gaza.
Having falsely claimed the vessel was UK-owned, the militant leader also said Mr Sunak has a “chance to salvage” it, by “sending a letter of guarantee… signed by George Galloway, that the relief trucks agreed upon at that time would enter Gaza”.
Mr Galloway was elected MP for Rochdale in a by-election on Thursday, and proclaimed in his victory speech “this is for Gaza” and that he “despises” the prime minister.
The overall impact depends on how ocean currents deplete the fertiliser and how it is released from the stricken vessel, Xingchen Tony Wang, assistant professor at the department of earth and environmental sciences at Boston College, added.
Yemeni foreign minister Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak, echoed concerns on X, writing: "The sinking of the Rubymar is an environmental catastrophe that Yemen and the region have never experienced before.
