George Galloway: Labour is the ‘number one enemy’

George Galloway would be happy if his Workers’ Party of Britain denied Labour the chance of an outright majority at the election because it would mean that whoever was in power would have to listen to the smaller parties. That was his message today when interviewed by Andrew Neil on Times Radio: the former Labour MP does not see a Labour government as being at all worthwhile over and above a Conservative one. He is standing in Rochdale, which he won in a by-election earlier this year after Labour messed up with its own candidate. 

‘We are a threat to Labour in at least 100 places. We can either beat them or at least cause them to lose because the Labour party is, as you pointed out in your introduction, our number one enemy, for the reason that the Conservatives are the wolves, the Labour party are the foxes: they appear to be smiling but in fact their intentions are exactly the same as that of the wolf, which is to eat the living standards of the working people of this country and cheat the working people of this country with their fiendish schemes.
