George Galloway’s back, back again

This is the fourth city he’s been elected to represent, and the third party in four decades.

He currently represents the Workers Party of Britain, but this is the fourth city he’s been elected to represent and the third party in four decades.

Rachel Cunliffe, associate political editor, is joined by the New Statesman’s Britain editor Anoosh Chakelian, and senior data journalist, Ben Walker.
