SIR – MP George Galloway talks of the “tedium” of day-to-day parliamentary business and his hopes of becoming Mayor of London gives the impression that he is in no way interested in representing Bradford West.

All five of the local authority councillors who stood as Respect party have absconded and now stand as Independents. Mr Galloway should now stand down from his position as Bradford West MP.
