Former England cricketer Monty Panesar and a former Ukip MEP are among the multitudinous candidates announced by George Galloway‘s Workers Party for the upcoming general election. Galloway’s party, aiming to leverage disapproval of Labour’s Gaza conflict management, also affirmed support for key figures like Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott, and Claudia Webbe if they decided to contest as independents.

Galloway disclosed ongoing discussions with Labour MPs and a peer regarding potential defections, while unveiling an array of prospective candidates such as former Labour MP Chris Williamson, bigot barred Khalil Ahmed, ex-Ukip MEP Amjad Bashir, and former British ambassadors Peter Ford and Craig Murray.

Amid the roster are also several Labour councillors who switched sides, such as Amrit Mann and renegade Tory candidate Harry Boota. The inclusion of diverse candidates like Mick Stott, with his controversial background, and the fervently outspoken Mohammed Akunjee in Bethnal Green and Stepney, adds further intrigue to the party’s lineup.

One distinct proposal championed by candidate Monty Panesar is a referendum on net zero emissions, aligning with Galloway’s advocacy for environmental concerns. The party’s agenda, spanning from local governance to international relations, sets a dynamic tone for the upcoming electoral contest.
