George Galloway is one of Britain’s most formidable political campaigners. He has been elected as a member of parliament for four separate constituencies - winning on three occasions while not standing for a major political party.
Earlier this year saw him elected as the MP for Rochdale. That success was, in no small part, because of Galloway’s position on Gaza - and his outspoken criticism of Israel.
But was that merely the swan song in a rollercoaster political career? Or the beginning of something much bigger?
Could George Galloway’s Workers Party of Great Britain become a genuine threat to the Labour Party - particularly on issues of foreign policy - over the years to come?

There’s an accompanying written piece by Bastani where he says he went into the interview thinking of Galloway as someone he’d have voted for. I can’t bear to watch the video.
Him and Michael walker are a couple of fucking clowns. The sad thing is this is the best we’ve got for leftwing media.
