Former England cricketer Monty Panesar has been unveiled as a general election candidate for George Galloway's Workers Party of Britain.
Mr Panesar said he wanted to "represent the working class people of this country" in Parliament.
He was one of dozens of Workers Party candidates unveiled by Mr Galloway in Parliament Square earlier.
The Rochdale MP claimed his fledgling outfit had already selected 500 general election candidates.
And he said it was in talks with a Labour peer and three Labour MPs about switching sides, although he declined to name the potential defectors as they were not yet "nailed on".
Luton-born Mr Panesar is aiming to overturn Labour's Virendra Sharma 16,000 majority in Ealing Southall, in West London.
He was introduced to the crowd of Workers Party candidates and supporters in Parliament Square by a beaming Mr Galloway.
Mr Galloway, who became the Workers Party first MP in February after winning the Rochdale by-election, said Labour was his party's "number one enemy because we seek to replace them".
"We will have the same impact on Labour that [Nigel] Farage and the Reform party are likely to have on the Conservatives.
"We will win seats, but in potentially hundreds of seats, we will materially affect the results."

He will take votes away from Labour so I see it as a good thing.
Worker’s Party is pure Communist. Sad.
“George Galloway’s Workers Party of Britain.”
I thought it was the “British Worker’s Party.” Jk, it’s a Monty Python reference.
It is but they see the Labour Party as their number 1 enemy much like we do RINOs.
What a silly “Leg Before Wicket” English Person.
Galloway is rotten even without his leotards on.
Whatever makes you say something like that?

A brutal ISIS torturer wasn’t the only jihadist terrorist who traveled with former British MP George Galloway to Gaza, it has been revealed.
According to a recent report, Alexander Kotey left the UK on Galloway’s “Viva Palestina” convoy to Gaza in 2009, and from there eventually made his way to Syria to join the Islamic State terror group. [...]
As many as eight Muslim extremists who would later be convicted of or involved in terrorist activities joined the convoy, according to The Times. Among them were Amin Addala and Reza Afsharzadegan, both known associates of Emwazi from west London; and Stephen Gray, a former member of the Royal Air Force who attempted to join ISIS.
The list of extremists who traveled with Galloway also includes a member of the Taliban and former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Jamal al-Harith. Al-Harith was released from Guantanamo in 2004, and more recently joined ISIS in Syria.

George Galloway And The Left’s Alliance With Terror
The news that British MP George Galloway was the planned guest speaker at a February 1 Hamas fundraiser at Boston’s Palestinian Cultural Center for Peace would, in a morally coherent world, be alarming for those in the West who wonder why elected officials should be gathering support for a group of jihadist thugs whose principal efforts are dedicated to the extirpation of Israel and the murder of Jews.

Controversial anti-Israel politician and London Mayoral candidate George Galloway has been accused of “fascism,” after refusing a man entry to his events because he is pro-Israel.
Hahaha!
I like his foreign policy and relative independence that’s about it.
You like ISIS? What are you doing on this site in that case?
Splitters
No I don’t..
But you wrote that you liked Galloway’s foreign policy. So I guess you just don’t know what you’re talking about.
A prime candidate for the Ministry of Silly Walks.
Another anti-British jerk if he is in league with Galloway.
