During the 2005 UK general election, Gallagher told the press that he was continuing to vote for Labour in order to prevent Phil Collins from coming back to Britain under a Conservative government. This related to press reports during the 1992 general election that the multi-millionaire Collins was going to leave Britain if the Conservatives lost that election and Labour won power. Collins responded to Gallagher's comments on his website, denying that he was a Conservative Party supporter and claiming that his reasons for leaving Britain were unrelated to Labour's election win in 1997 (Collins actually left in 1994). At the end of 2005, Collins appeared on the BBC series Room 101 (1994) and chose the Gallagher brothers as one of his dislikes, telling host Paul Merton: "They're horrible guys. They're rude. They're not as talented as they think they are".
