The Workers Party of Britain (WPGB) is a political party formed by British politician, broadcaster and writer, George Galloway, following the defeat of Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party at the UK/2019 General Election.[1]

#GE2024 campaign

The UK/General election/2024 is scheduled for 4 July 2024 with Electoral Calculus predicting a Labour majority of 290 seats.[2]

Manifesto launch

Britain will be dragged into a full-scale war with Russia "within six months" if Labour leader Keir Starmer becomes Prime Minister, George Galloway claimed at the manifesto launch of the WPGB. Dismissing Starmer and Tory PM Rishi Sunak as "two cheeks of the same backside", Galloway said:

"We are potentially headed to Armageddon. And if we don't get out of this death spiral, then none of this will be worth arguing over at all."
"I want to make a prediction. If Keir Starmer becomes the Prime Minister, within six months, Britain will be at war."
"I don't mean a proxy war. I don't mean Special Forces dressed up as Arabs or Russians or Ukrainians.
"I mean, an actual war, with British forces deployed within six months of Keir Starmer becoming Prime Minister.
"And then it's game on, I'm afraid to say."[3]
