[Margaret Pilkington]

In the past, this man said he would never accept a peerage..........that was, of course, when there wasn't one on offer. This man was always Old Labour, or Socialist if you prefer. Ermine will fit him like Cinderellas glass slipper.
Seems like another politician has sold his principles, his credibilty and his integrity(not that he had much of than anyway).
He has said that he has done it to make up for what he put his wife through when he was 'bothering' with Tracy whatsherface....stinks to me.
