“Unveiling the largest left-of-Labour electoral challenge in history, Mr Galloway, who returned to the Commons in the Rochdale by-election in February, said the party was speaking to three Labour MPs about their possible defection.”
"Stalwart support for the Palestinian people and opposition to British complicity in the Gaza genocide is the party’s rallying cry, but Galloway stressed that it would also campaign “from the NHS to the economy to crime to immigration, on all the issues that vitally concern the British people.”
“The party’s aim is to fight every seat in England at the election, and has already adopted candidates for most London constituencies, as well as many in Scotland and Wales.”
Yawn. He’s a pro-Brexit, anti-net-zero, conspiracy-theory-peddling demagogue. He literally endorsed and then tried to get selected as a candidate for Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party in 2019.
Why are people who claim to be on the left even giving Galloway the time of day?
He’s a pro-Brexit
As was basically every socialist party in the country. The EU is a capitalist entity, why would any leftist support it?
Because the alternative on offer to the socially liberal capitalist EU wasnt some socialist paradise but the conservativsm with a helping of rampant nationalism we have today.
That can be changed, arguably that’s what he’s trying to change.
The EU is a capitalist entity, why would any leftist support it?
*gestures generally at modern Britain*
The only thing that George Galloway is concerned with is his self promotion.
I only just learned who this guy is. It’s fitting that the post right above this one was the “I don’t debate Israelis” clip.
So I need to actually pay attention to these …

Exactly. There’s a definite pattern here. Cameron pandered to the cunts in his party in 2010-16, opening the door to populist cunts like Nigel, and Starmer is now pandering to the cunts in his party, opening the door to populist cunts like George. In both circumstances, the normal people (moderate Tories, tender leftists) are completely disenfranchised, and the party ends up irrevocably split. I know history repeats, but usually there’s at least a short period where we learn from it first…
And we’re left, once again, with nobody to view for. So many people will hit the elect button, and chaos will ensue. The system needs a reset.
Good. We need a hung Parliament and electoral reform to end elected dictatorships and political capture by extremists. Hopefully Galloway helps with that by taking votes away from Labour.
