George Galloway Vows to Target Labour Deputy Leader’s Seat in Parliament

George Galloway, recently sworn in as an MP following a by-election win, has announced his intentions to target Labour‘s deputy leader, Angela Rayner, in her Ashton-under-Lyne constituency in the next election, citing his Workers Party of Britain‘s ability to sway voters in her favor.

Galloway, expelled from Labour in 2003, emphasized that there are numerous areas, including London, Birmingham, and North West England, where his party or supported independent candidates could challenge mainstream parties like Labour and impact the outcome.

Following his swearing-in at Westminster, Galloway highlighted his priorities, including raising the Gaza conflict in Parliament, drawing attention to his history of activism in the Middle East region.

In response to questions about Hamas and Israel, Galloway denounced foreign interference in Gaza affairs and emphasized the need for Palestinian statehood, while cautioning against comparisons between Israeli policy and the Nazis.

Reflecting on his return to Parliament, Galloway expressed his determination to bring change, criticizing the conduct of mainstream parties and voicing his commitment to representing constituents with fervor.

During his inauguration in the House of Commons, Galloway was introduced by sponsors Peter Bottomley and Neale Hanvey, underscoring his diverse political alliances and approach.

Galloway’s victory in the Rochdale by-election, focused on Gaza, has stirred debate, with critics and supporters alike closely watching his actions and statements in Parliament.
