Revolt in Northern England: No Ceasefire, No Vote
WATCH: Independent candidates and voters and the Workers’ Party of Britain join forces to tell both Labour and Tories to stop the genocide in Gaza or face a revolt at the polls.

Special to Consortium News
There is a rebellion brewing in England, particularly in the north, where voters are fed up with the similar, repressive policies of both Labour and Conservative Parties, in particular when it comes to Gaza.
This movement is being spearheaded by a surge of independent candidates for local council elections slated for May 2, and by George Galloway’s new Workers’ Party of Britain. Galloway became the first member of the party to be elected to Parliament in February representing Rochdale, outside Manchester.
Former British diplomat Craig Murray is now standing for Parliament in Blackburn with the Workers’ Party, and Andrew Feinstein, who worked closely with Nelson Mandela in South Africa, is challenging Labour leader Keir Starmer for his seat in Holborn and St. Pancras in London as an independent in the general election to be called later this year.
The independents and Workers’ Party came together in Blackburn on Saturday to tell both major parties there’s a new movement in the land and it’s gathering force.
Below are Parts One and Two of the conference, followed by individual videos of addresses by George Galloway, Craig Murray and Andrew Feinstein. Speakers list at the end.
