SIR – It can be said that we are now living in interesting times following the election success of Mr Galloway in Bradford West.

Perhaps the self-regarding MP may be able to resolve the unwelcome situation regarding the Odeon and Westfield site through his high-profile presence and controversial style. Should that situation materialise, we would commend his success and positive contribution to the city.

However, Mr Galloway must show himself serving the whole constituency and not just a select part. It is expected that an MP’s duties involve much constituency-related matters of a routine nature and not merely fixating on foreign conflicts.

Only time will tell whether Mr Galloway’s no doubt brief sojourn will prove fruitful as well as entertaining!

Alec Suchi, Allerton Road, Bradford
