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?

I’d be mega surprised if Galloway’s Wokers Party, or Reform for that matter, gain more than two seats between them. They aren’t destroying anyone.

Yeah, that’s what the electorate is crying out for: Corbyn’s Labour, but homophobic.
Well Corbyn failed and Gorgeous George thinks he’s found the special sauce to make it more palatable - religious extremism.

George Galloway is only interested in himself. When this current fad gets flushed down the toilet, he’ll find another bandwagon to jump on.
