So today I am withdrawing as a General Election candidate for The Workers Party. I realise I need more time to listen, learn and find my political home, one that aligns with my personal and political values.Mr Galloway said he had 500 candidates already lined up to fight a general election and wanted his party to put pressure on Labour in the same way Nigel Farage was able to target the Conservatives.
