GEORGE GALLOWAY returned to Parliament today with a warning to Sir Keir Starmer that he now speaks for large numbers of traditional Labour voters.

He pledged that his Workers Party would either stand candidates or support independent challengers at the general election in a range of constituencies in London, the west Midlands and the north-west of England.

The Rochdale by-election victor singled out Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner’s Greater Manchester seat as being one of those which “we will either win or ensure that Keir Starmer does not win.”
