George Galloway has sought to distance himself from a former campaign volunteer accused of referring to a “Holohoax” on social media, according to the Mail on Sunday.

According to the report, Mr Galloway removed Shammy Cheema from his team on Saturday night after offensive comments made on Facebook were flagged. 

In a post, from June 2019, he allegedly used the term the “Holohoax” and described it as “the big fat Zionist cow that's been milked for the last 80 years.”

He also wrote that the Holocaust was “an exaggerated version of events to beg indefinite public sympathy”, the Mail on Sunday reported.
