The former England left-arm spinner conducted a series of awkward interviews after declaring he would stand as a candidate at the next general election.
Monty Panesar’s greatest moment in Ashes cricket came not with his favoured ball but with the bat in the dying light in Cardiff in 2009.
“It was a moment which inspired,” Heappey said this week. “Remember watching Monty and Jimmy fending off the Aussies from the Ops Room in Sangin ... those were bleak days but England holding on for that draw and setting up the series win that followed put occasional smiles on otherwise grim faces.” Galloway, a veteran left-wing firebrand, is seeking to taunt and target Labour in its traditional working-class and multicultural seats at the next election and has them running scared after winning a seat for himself earlier this year. He has objected to the UK’s support for Ukraine following Russia’s illegal invasion and is aiming to make the situation in Gaza a flashpoint in Muslim communities.
Test greats Ian Botham and Colin Cowdrey have both sat in the House of Lords as well as Learie Constantine, the great Trinidadian all-rounder and activist against racial discrimination.
