Galloway faces being shunned on his first day again in Parliament
- Jeremy Corbyn has already agreed to hitch Galloway on the ceremony
George Galloway faces embarrassment on his return to Parliament right this moment after a senior Tory snubbed his request to swear him in.
The newly elected MP for Rochdale had boasted that former Brexit secretary Sir David Davis would accompany him when he takes his seat within the House of Commons.
On Friday, Mr Galloway, the chief of the Workers Party of Britain, had informed Sky News: ‘David Davis is likely one of the nice parliamentarians of right this moment and this age.’
However, after Mr Galloway’s deputy – former Labour MP Chris Williamson – refused to sentence Hamas‘s terror assault on Israel, Sir David had a change of coronary heart.
‘I used to be comfortable to introduce George as a result of I’m a believer in free speech,’ he stated. ‘But his deputy was attempting to justify the October 7 assaults and that crosses the road.’
