George Galloway has described Keir Starmer as a wooden “automaton” as he announced that his Workers Party of Britain will stand in every constituency in the coming General Election.
Speaking on GB News, he said: “We've already got 500 candidates, so we thought this was the moment to declare to the country that there is an alternative to Keir Starmer, if you are a Labour voter, and all the signs are there's a very big market for that.
“The kind of Labour we have now is Tony Blair without the laughs, without the polish, led by an automaton so wooden the birds are nesting in him, and up to his neck in the Gaza slaughter.
“So, there's actually a lot of people looking for an alternative like us and we've put together candidates that you will find difficult to believe. Monty Panesar, for example, the ace English cricketer is going to stand for us in Southall.
“We’ve got people from the Tory party, UKIP, Labour, Liberal Democrat, where we're building a coalition of people that want a change in Britain. And I think there's a lot of people looking for that change.”
In a discussion with Eamonn Holmes and Isabel Webster, he continued: “We don't expect anything from the Conservatives. Rishi Sunak the billionaire is sitting there with the green card in his pocket. He's off to California. His mind is on the beach…
“We don't expect anything from the Conservatives but there are millions of people, traditional Labour voters that are entitled to something better.
“We believe Britain deserves better than the two cheeks of the same backside that are currently on offer.”
He added: “We want to make the Red Wall red again. We want to return the voting patterns in these parts of Britain that were let down by Labour, fooled by Boris Johnson, and may want now to correct things by voting for the real deal.”
