NextImg:Azhar Ali blasted for 'boasting' after shaking hands with George Galloway in resurfaced image

GB News presenter Tom Harwood has blasted disowned Labour candidate Azhar Ali, after a resurfaced image shows the Rochdale candidate shaking hands with George Galloway.

Tom said of the image: "This is something that frankly the Labour Party should have spotted and failed to do so. The Labour Party's now disowned candidate had posted a photograph on his social media in 2015 shaking hands with the then Respect Party MP George Galloway.

"George Galloway at the time was a very controversial figure. He had defeated Labour in a by election only a couple of years before this point and he had defeated the Labour candidates and other candidates, accusing them of lacking Islamic values. It was said at the time that George Galloway ran on a platform of being more Islamic than his Muslim opponents.

"And here we see this Labour candidate for this by election, now disowned by Labour, boasting of his association with George Galloway at a seminar he says was on Say No to Terrorism. There we have it. The former Labour candidate shaking hands with George Galloway. Something that had the Labour Party known about, you'd surely think they would have thought this was not a man who was suitable."
