THE GALLOWAY SCANDAL CONTINUES TO UNFOLD:

George Galloway confirmed for the first time yesterday that he was in Iraq on the day that documents found by The Telegraph allege he met an Iraqi intelligence officer there to discuss “continuous financial support”.

The suspended Labour MP also admitted that he was “not yet” in a position to disprove the documents, which he claimed were forgeries and which were discovered in the looted foreign ministry in Baghdad.

The papers purport to show that Mr Galloway received money from Saddam Hussein’s regime – a slice of oil earnings worth at least £375,000 a year.

It’s always the money with these people.
