George Spurns Danny

Mark Devenport | 16:48 UK time, Monday, 24 January 2011

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Danny Morrison says he half jokingly suggested George Galloway as a potential successor to Gerry Adams in West Belfast last week. Today the former Respect MP responded in a column in the Scottish Daily Record insisting that his "future does not lie over the Irish Sea". So no socialist Enoch Powell then...

P.S. Mr Galloway says the BBC didn't try to contact him, but my colleague Martina Purdy did e-mail his official website seeking a comment before she ran the Danny Morrison suggestion. She got a reply the next day saying Mr Galloway was on his way to the USA.
