Galloway afterwards told Guido that Farage was the person who “convinced me” to join Grassroots Out, after an interview on Russia Today last week, and that he spoke to no one else in the organisation. Farage’s former chief aide Raheem Kassam joined around 100 Grassroots Out supporters who walked out in protest at Galloway. Financial backer Arron Banks also expressed disapproval. Yet Kate Hoey tells Guido “George is a coup” and says he has “huge reach into the Asian community”. Who saw that coming?
