UK Local Elections 2026Background
George Galloway first entered the Commons for Glasgow Hillhead in 1987. He later represented Glasgow Kelvin, Bethnal Green and Bow, Bradford West and Rochdale. Parliament records periods under Labour, Independent Labour, Respect and the Workers Party of Britain. His latest Commons term ran from February to May 2024.
The Workers Party says Galloway founded it in 2019 and was re-elected leader at its 2023 Congress. His official party biography also lists work as a writer, broadcaster and film-maker alongside his parliamentary career. Those activities have kept him in public political debate between elected terms. His five constituencies span Glasgow, east London, Bradford and Rochdale, while his party affiliations trace a move from Labour through Respect to the organisation he now leads.
