George Galloway V US Senate Sub-Committee On Investigations

The United Nations-backed oil-for-food scheme enabled Saddam Hussein to export oil to pay for essential humanitarian aid to help the Iraqi people cope with UN sanctions imposed in 1991.

The Senate sub-committee on investigations have alleged that Mr Galloway received options to buy barrels of Iraqi oil as a reward for supporting Saddam Hussein by selling the vouchers at below market prices to favoured parties, who were able to sell them on at profit.

The Senate committee's report also accused former French minister Charles Pasqua of receiving oil rights from Iraq, something he also has vehemently denied.

Mr Galloway, already a controversial British Member of Parliament, flew to Washington to defend himself and has now appeared before the Senate committee to answer their accusations.

How Long Has Tony Blair Got Left As British Prime Minister?

Although Labour won the May 2005 UK elections it was the smallest winning share of the vote ever recorded. With a vastly reduced majority and with both the Tories and the Liberal Democrats making significant advances at Labour's cost, the labour celebrations were mixed and disenchanted Labour MP's have wasted no time in pressing the case for a new leader. Prior to the election Tony Blair announced this would be his last term as Prime Minister but will he go on his terms, or do you expect him to follow the fate of Margaret Thatcher and be ousted by his own party? Is is a forgone conclusion that Gordon Brown will replace Tony Blair or is there a chance that after waiting so long in the wings Gordon Brown will loose out on the top job to Jack Shaw, Robin Cook or someone else?
