Tony Blair’s anti-terror legislation passed by one vote in the House of Commons last week. George Galloway, an opponent of that legislation, did not turn up to vote. He was, you see, presiding over an audience with George Galloway elsewhere for the benefit of a paying audience, a far more lucrative gig than actually doing the job his poor, misguided voters actually sent him to do.

To Stephen Pollard, who has not, quite clearly, being reading his Wolcott, that’s yet more evidence that Galloway is a “hypocritical, phony, two-faced, insincere political con artist”.

Stephen, Stephen, Stephen, how wrong can you be? Galloway is, as Wolcott has explained, “a hero of our time”.

Never forget that, Stephen, never forget.
