Former MP and Workers Party leader George Gallowy and his wife were stopped by counter‑terrorism police at Gatwick Airport on 27 September 2025. They were held under Schedule 3 of the Counter‑Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019 and released hours later without charge. The party called the move politically‑motivated intimidation, while officials said no arrest was made. The incident follows a series of controversial overseas trips and statements by Galloway that have drawn intense scrutiny.
