Galloway's Workers Party to stand candidates everywhere in challenge to Labour

THE Workers Party will challenge Labour in almost every English seat at the general election, its leader George Galloway announced today.

Among the party’s standard bearers will be former England cricketer Monty Panesar, who will stand in the Southall seat in west London.

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.
