Galloway says Workers Party will be genuine opposition to Sir Keir's Labour at manifesto launch
George Galloway speaking to the media during a press conference on Parliament Square in central London, where he announced the selection of hundreds of Workers Party General Election candidates, as well as announcing the Workers Party's intention to contest every seat in Great Britain at the upcoming election, April 30, 2024

WORKERS PARTY leader George Galloway told his party’s manifesto launch event today that he will be the genuine leader of the opposition to Sir Keir Starmer.

Speaking in Manchester, Mr Galloway also predicted that if the Labour leader became premier — as seems all but certain after July 4 — Britain will be at war in six months.

Standing 154 election candidates on a platform of state economic intervention, anti-imperialism and patriotism, the Workers Party’s main target is Labour voters.
