His party has been announced dozens of parliamentary candidates
George Galloway claims he is in talks with three Labour MPs and a member of the House of Lords whom he hopes to recruit to his party. The Rochdale MP and Workers Party of Britain leader warned a 'significant number' of councillors could also join by next week.
Mr Galloway said 500 candidates have now been selected to stand for his party at the general election. So far, the Workers Party has named parliamentary candidates in 170 constituencies, saying that more candidates are set to be announced in the coming weeks.However, this 'first wave' list includes constituencies where the party will not be fielding candidates and instead support a sitting MP, such as former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
The ex-Labour MP also said he is in talks with four parliamentary colleagues who he is hoping to recruit. He did not name the three Labour MPs and one Labour peer, but said his party would 'quite like' a member in the Lords despite opposing the unelected chamber. "Not all of them, by the way, are endangered by us. And if they stood as independents, I think we'd probably support them."
