RENEGADE anti-war MP George Galloway is considering standing against Jack Straw in his Blackburn constituency at the next general election.
After uprooting Labour's Oona King in London's Bethnal Green seat at the last election in 2005 Galloway promised to only serve one term.
Kevin Ovenden, spokesman for Galloway, said that he was now considering whether to stand again as an MP and if so where.
He said: "We have had calls from people for George to consider it.
"It is in the pot at the moment."
Galloway quit the Labour party in opposition to the Iraq war to set up his own party Respect the Unity Coalition.
