Those running include Monty Panesar but Workers party says they will not stand against Corbyn or Abbott if they run as independents
The former England cricketer Monty Panesar and a former Ukip MEP are among hundreds of general election candidates who will run under the banner of George Galloway’s Workers party.
The party, which is seeking to capitalise on discontent towards Labour’s handling of the Gaza conflict, also said it would support the former Labour MPs Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbott and Claudia Webbe if they ran again as independents.
