George Galloway criticised after giving backing to Nigel Farage's Brexit Party in European elections [View all]
George Galloway isn't a name that you hear very often anymore, which is probably for the best.
The former MP and Celebrity Big Brother contestant has become something of an obscure figure in the current political climate, spearheading those on the left who support Brexit - or as it has come to be known, 'Lexit'.
With the prospect of leaving the EU anytime soon looking as likely as watching Game of Thrones without it being spoilt, Galloway has controversially offered his support to Nigel Farage's newly formed Brexit Party, who will be contesting next month's European elections.
In a tweet, the former Labour party member said that he had made the decision based on some Labour MPs opposition to Brexit and the referendum result.

Strange bedfellows - but it somehow seems inevitable that this happened
