In July 2015, Galloway endorsed Jeremy Corbyn's campaign in the Labour Party leadership election.
He tweeted: "Congratulations to Jeremy Corbyn MP and good fortune in the labour leadership contest.
If he wins it will change everything..." He also said that he would become a Labour Party member "pretty damn quick" if Corbyn was elected as Labour leader.
Less than a week after Corbyn became leader, a Labour spokeswoman told The Times: "George Galloway has not applied to rejoin the Labour party and he will not be receiving an invitation."
Corbyn himself said in July 2015 during an interview with New Statesman editor Jason Cowley that he was appalled at the tactics Galloway used while defending his seat against Naz Shah (Labour) during the general election.
In an interview to The Huffington Post journalist Paul Waugh in December 2015, Corbyn said that Galloway's readmission to the party was a decision not within his powers.

Following Ken Livingstone's much criticised comments in late April 2016 concerning Adolf Hitler and Zionism, Galloway supported Livingstone's argument.
Galloway disputed that Livingstone's comments were antisemitic. "
The Israel lobby has just destroyed the Labour Party", he tweeted in May 2016. "
It is an amazing achievement".

In July 2016, Galloway endorsed Corbyn's campaign in the Labour Party leadership election.
He said: "If Corbyn wins a big victory – and I think he will – then that should be, and it's important that it is, the final burial of Blair and Blairism."

The Respect Party "voluntarily deregistered" from the Electoral Commission on 18 August 2016.

It was announced on 21 March 2017 that Galloway was standing as an independent candidate at the Manchester Gorton by-election set for 4 May, following the death of Sir Gerald Kaufman in February.
Gorton had been one of Labour's safest seats at the 2015 general election.
The by-election was cancelled following the announcement of the 2017 snap general election being held on 8 June.
Galloway subsequently transferred his candidacy to the general election.
At the election, Labour easily retained the seat; Galloway came a distant third with 5.7% of the vote.

Meanwhile, on 20 June 2016, Galloway lost a libel action brought by Aisha Ali-Khan, his assistant for six months in 2012.
He had claimed that she had pursued a "dirty tricks" campaign against him and the Respect Party, and had slept at his house with her then-husband.
The case was heard in the High Court.
His counsel apologised on Galloway's behalf, and accepted that he had made "defamatory accusations".
Ali-Khan will receive a "five-figure sum" in damages and her legal costs.

As part of the settlement of their libel claim, both Galloway and Ali-Khan gave undertakings not to make any further public statement about the litigation or to defame each other.
In 2018 Galloway brought an action that Ali-Khan had breached this undertaking 26 times, which Ali-Khan admitted, and in April 2018 the High Court imprisoned Ali-Khan for 12 weeks for contempt of court, describing her action as "deliberate, flagrant, persistent and inexcusable".
Ali-Khan had been found guilty of contempt of court on a previous occasion.
Previously, during 2017, Ali-Khan had filed a petition for Galloway's bankruptcy.

In the 2019 general election, Galloway contested the Parliamentary seat of West Bromwich East as an independent, describing himself as supportive of Corbyn's leadership but also supportive of Brexit.
He came 6th with 489 votes.

On 14 December, Galloway launched the Workers Party of Britain, which describes itself as "economically radical with an independent foreign policy" and "unequivocally committed to class politics".
Galloway is the party's leader.
