George Galloway on The Elite Middle Class Takeover of The Labour Party | Peter McCormack Podcast

George Galloway is a British politician, broadcaster, and author renowned for his decades-long career as a champion of working-class politics and his fierce critiques of Western foreign policy and neoliberalism.

In this interview, George delivers a powerful critique of the Labour Party’s transformation from a working-class movement to a middle-class elite institution. Drawing on his unique experiences in politics and broadcasting, Galloway discusses the erosion of Labour’s connection to the British working class, the Californication of its policies, and the broader state of the left in the UK. This wide-ranging conversation dives into Labour’s ideological identity crisis, the rise of populism, and the systemic failures of Britain’s political class, offering insights that challenge both the left and the right.
