'From an Accrington mill to British MP via a Moscow spy school. The story of Margaret McKay could easily have been the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster.'

Lancashire news, sport and entertainment from Lancashire, Greater Manchester & Merseyside - Margaret's life reads like a film script

Interesting to note from this that she had four books published, including a autobiography A Generation in Revolt, and blamed Robert Maxwell for the fact she didn't have more published.

'In a letter to Jim Ainsworth, author of a book about Hyndburn Trade Unions, Mrs McKay wrote: "..he (Maxwell) was my bitter political foe and aided in driving me out of Parliament.'

At least Jim Ainsworth knows about this local lass, and friend of Lenin's wife!
