Galloway’s wife seeks divorce on election eve

[muriel_volestrangler]

Amineh Abu-Zayyad has told The Sunday Times she can no longer tolerate his behaviour and will be contacting solicitors this week.

She says she has received a number of phone calls from women who claim to have had romantic links with him. She adds that Galloway has tried to smooth things over by telling her it is a plot by an unnamed intelligence service to discredit him.

Galloway said yesterday: “My marriage has been experiencing difficulties for quite some time. For much of the last two years my wife has been living abroad. I had hoped for a reconciliation but clearly my wife has decided otherwise. There is no other party involved. This is a private matter.

“It has clearly been raised by The Sunday Times to damage me in the election on Thursday and is a measure of the desperation in ‘new Labour’ circles at the danger of them losing the Bethnal Green and Bow constituency.”

He's certainly right about the timing - the Sunday Times is clearly trying to cut him off at the knees by annoying devout Muslims just at this time.

... but this looks decidedly like a set-up.
