JOANA RAMIRO chats with Respect leader George Galloway and Women’s Equality Party mayoral candidate Sophie Walker

IF interviewing George Galloway isn’t a simple task at the best of times, having a little chat with him after speaking to the leader of the Women’s Equality Party put me in a bit of a panic.

Was it possible to say anything that wouldn’t trigger one of Galloway’s infamous tirades?

But Galloway is a political creature and when we meet in the London borough of Harrow, he is in safe territory. I’m welcomed in a local cafe, where the Respect leader is surrounded by helpful aides.
