The Times ‘leading charge to take down RT,’ George Galloway says

Galloway also hit out at Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, who this week called it a “scandal” that Labour MPs appeared on RT. He was seemingly oblivious to the fact that many Tory MPs have come on the channel, and his own father Stanley Johnson appeared just last month to speak about his book.

“On my own RT show, something like 10 leading Conservatives – that is the governing party – have appeared as opposed to precisely two Labour opposition members of parliament,” Galloway said.

“His own members are roundly ignoring this foolish statement, which has more to do with Boris Johnson’s bid to become prime minister on the back of these Cold War idiocies than it has to do with RT.

“It’s only actually less than two years ago that the very same Boris Johnson in his newspaper column urged the government to get behind the Russian president Putin in Syria – to make an alliance with him, to join up with him.

“Mr Johnson has more faces than the station clock.”

Galloway also pointed out Watson’s hypocrisy in taking the RT ad complaint to OFCOM.

“Tom Watson negotiated with me for a long time to come on my RT show, and he only didn’t because we fell out over an internal Labour Party matter – namely his leadership of the coup against Jeremy Corbyn.

“So Mr Watson was more than happy to appear on RT. I have the written exchanges to prove it.”
