The Workers Party leader has pitched himself as the 'antidote' to Reform UK' but says that he is only targeting Labour voters
George Galloway has warned of Nigel Farage 's rising popularity - even in Rochdale where he is running to be re-elected as an MP. The Workers Party of Britain leader has said he is the 'antidote' to Mr Farage's Reform UK, arguing that he is the best alternative to Labour.
However, he told the Manchester Evening News that he would prefer any party beating Labour, even the Conservatives or Reform UK. Mr Galloway, who was expelled from Labour in 2003, also described a landslide majority for Sir Keir Starmer's party as a 'very bad idea'.
He added: "We are the antidote, not just to Labour, but to Reform. If there's going to be a leader of the opposition to Keir Starmer, Prime Minister - God forbid, but looking increasingly likely - that should be me." "If you pushed me, I would say that Labour was the greater of two evils. But we definitely don't consider Labour to be the lesser of two evils. We think a landslide Keir Starmer majority is a clear and present danger to our people, to our country, to our democracy."
