Moment Monty Panesar is stumped by simple question in car-crash interview as he ... trends now

This is the moment England cricket hero Monty Panesar is stumped by a simple question in a car-crash interview where he admits he doesn't know what Nato is - despite withdrawal of the alliance being his new party's top priority.

The new Workers Party of Britain candidate for Southall was revealed by party leader MP George Galloway yesterday morning outside Westminster.

But the new politician, who said he joined the party as both Labour and the Conservatives were simply 'not helping', has already run into difficulties after being confused about one of Britain's most important foreign policy agreements.

In an interview with Times Radio host Stig Abell this morning he said: 'When it comes to Nato if you ask my opinion, it's not, like I'm not really an expert I don't have a lot of knowledge on it, to be honest.

'Of my brief understanding of Nato, right, it's there to protect the, you know, the European Union, isn't it? It's there to protect, you know, everyone in the European Union.

'When it comes to Nato if you ask my opinion, it's not, like I'm not really an expert I don't have a lot of knowledge on it, to be honest.'

After host Mr Abell pointed out that leaving Nato was the first point in his new party's ten point programme to 'end imperialist wars and financial domination'.

The presenter pointed out that leaving the north atlantic military alliance, seen by some as the most successful military alliance in history, was quite a 'big deal' during a time of global conflict. 

Mr Panesar then gave a rambling reply about immigration, despite Nato not being an agreement on immigration, as well as his party plan making no mention of immigration in its 10 point plan. 

He said: 'I think the reason they're saying that, the reason our party is saying it, right, is because we don't really have control on our borders, right? 

'We have illegal migration. And then what ends up happening is some of these illegal migrants that go into the more poorer, deprived areas, and then the resources get strained in them areas.
