It seems that renegade Labourite and former Respect MP in Bradford, George Galloway, is giving much thought to the possibility of standing.
He would certainly reduce the Labour vote! Interestingly, the ones he would attract are amongst the 10% or so of Asian voters, not a particularly strong area for Ukip, and also the hard left - none of whom will vote Ukip.
Looking better for the Ukip leader as every day goes by!
