Galloway wins £150,000 libel damages

Scottish MP George Galloway today won £150,000 (€217,000) libel damages from The Daily Telegraph over “outrageous and incredibly damaging” allegations that he was in the pay of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

The 50-year-old MP for Glasgow Kelvin smiled as Mr Justice Eady, who heard the case at London’s High Court without a jury, gave his ruling.
