John McDonnell and George Galloway talk to Politics.co.uk

"I care about public perception, yes. I don't care about my enemies' perception" - George Galloway View this email in your browser Is it Galloway back for George? Today we carry interviews with two big and controversial figures on the left of British politics. First up is the former MP George Galloway who discusses his potential return to Labour under Jeremy Corbyn. Galloway, who is currently standing to become mayor of London, retains a close interest in Scottish politics and claims that discussions previously took place for his return to the Labour fold under the then leadership of Jim Murphy. One politician who may have a say in the matter is the current shadow chancellor John McDonnell. McDonnell was in fiery form this weekend, telling Politics.co.uk that there remains a "right-wing" and "conservative" wing of the Labour party that has failed to adjust to Corbyn's leadership. He also comes out swinging against the BBC and other sections of the media for allegedly trying to damage Corbyn's leadership. Finally we have a piece analysing the life of David Bowie who it was announced today has passed away from cancer. The piece argues that Bowies' life was a beacon for the fluidity of identity in youth and stands in opposition to the current rigid nature of identity politics spreading across campuses in the UK.
