Since being turfed out by the electorate, George Galloway has been at a bit of a loose end.
He continues to tour and make “special guest appearance”, of course – as other Big Brother candidates have done for the year or two following their brief glimmer of fame. But times are hard.

Angels who read the Daily Record – and I know there are many – urgently required.
It beats working at my old job, of course.
Galloway’s forays into showbiz haven’t always been particularly successful. And I’d hate to be the one to tell George that, er, such a musical already exists:
