    100% quality viewing, you gotta love Georgie G.
  • Could do with a lot more independent voices in parliament to stand up to Labour and Tories.

    Good to see Galloway in the halls of power, as the last person to enter parliament with honest intentions was Guy Fawkes!

    Its like watching a Jack Russell in a barn of rats 😂

    Love, LOVE his fearlessness and candor! Welcome back GG! P.S. 1. As expected, the place is almost empty as the COWARDS couldn't bear to hear the truth; 2) Why are cellphones not legally banned in these settings?!

    When do all those he dispises have to sit in the room and take it?..That will be a good day...

    "Two cheeks of the same backside!" ? H e a r! H e a r! MP Galloway. That campaign slogan you have coined so too aptly diagnose the sclerotic political malady we American voters have the Misfortune to suffer as well. Unfortunately, we American voters do not yet have a MP Galloway of the same caliber to speak on our behalf, in our 'Good-for-Nothing' Congress.

    It is edited George spoke for 8 minutes not for 3 minutes and 34 seconds and George Galloway spoke more truth in 8 minutes than what sunak and starmer has done in the last year

    what a difference ! the rest of the mp's should watch & learn.

    For those who criticize GG for talking about Gaza all the time instead of talking about local issues, his point is if you can witness what is happening there and do nothing or even support it, then those same people are doing the same thing to the poor and oppressed regions of the United Kingdom. No one is stopping them or even criticizing them. Have you seen the state of the towns and cities?

    Devastating maiden speech. Hope Sir Keir watched it , he may have learnt who he is supposed to be. The phrase man amongst children came to mind. Already looking forward to your next blast of truth to cosy Westminster orthodoxy. Go get 'em George

    They like newbies who know nothing in the HoC. They don’t like seasoned insiders who know how it all works.
