    Nice lady but full of lies as are most UK Tories.

    Her opinions re the SNP may or may not be correct but maybe she would care to look at the true root of Scottish economic problems....the London government taking all revenues from oil and other energy sources and returning very little to Scotland.

    In addition to her GBP 96K salary, Penny M also claimed GBP 193k in expenses....One day , I hope to get a job like that

    Yes, Michael Foot was also a scruffy bugger, but he was an incredibly eloquent speaker.
