I hope he doesn't get it. I read an interview with one of his friends saying that Mick came from an even poorer ares than the Gorbals, and that to live there would have been a step up.

Looks like a peerage and a £1,000,000 pension pot.
NO CHANGE THERE, THEN !

The Peerage is, I believe, Traditional.
But I wonder what Betty Boothroyd and Lord Tonypandy, are thinking ?

I assume , therefore , he has snuffed it !
I think he had a lovely sense of humour --- when one Member complained that he had not understood a word spoken by a Glaswegian Member, the Speaker gravely announced (In a VERY Welsh accent) "We have many regional accents in this House ---- --- I sometimes wish I had one myself !"
Collapse of Stout Party and Members !
