After much consideration and heavy thought as to which Scottish Labour Politician has proved themselves the most capable, intelligent, adroit, fleet of foot and mind, a politician with an uncanny ability to look in the mirror and foretell the future. I have come to the conclusion that although there are many worthy contenders, all with their own special idiosyncrasies, the one man (sorry ladies) who has shown that he has the chameleon like qualities of a spectre, a shift shaper, a man with the ability to melt into the background and read the runes of public disquiet, I present you with none other than the former Labour MP for Glasgow East, Mr. David Marshall
Mr Marshall, sitting in one of the safest Labour seats, as we all know left the troughs of Westminster last year citing 'stress' as his illness.
Was it stress brought about by the gargantuan task of overturning the morass of poverty, ill health, unemployment, alcohol and drug dependency rates or did our latter day Nostrodamus, look into the runes and discover that the raping of the public purse could only last for a fleeting few moments more?
Farewell David Marshall, may you enjoy your MP pension and additional entitlements into a long lasting old age.
