Charities to collar cash from Galloway jacket

A JACKET worn by Bradford West MP George Galloway during the debate with journalist and author Christopher Hitchens is up for auction on eBay.

The Emillio Batch jacket was worn by the MP in the New York-based debate on the Iraq war in September 2005.

A statement on the action site read: “This is your chance to own a piece of political history and, as with the last listing, all the money from the sale of this jacket will be going to charity, in particular charities in Bradford.”

Hitchens died last year of cancer.
