We have nothing but praise for the way in which he supported his constituents over the Beauly to Denny Power Line, speaking out publicly in opposition to this ill-advised scheme, which we all knew would devastate our landscape and destroy historic sites.

AS THE Labour Party in Scotland endeavours on a leadership election, it was interesting to learn the views of my MP on the matter.
Eric Joyce MP for Falkirk West is reported saying – unless Scottish Labour elects a Scottish politician as its leader in Scotland, no-one will listen to the party on Scottish issues.
How right Mr Joyce, as revealed in the 2011 election, no-one is listening to Labour even with a Scottish leader! Is Mr Joyce yet another unionist politician grasping the nettle of independence, calling for devolution max and full fiscal autonomy?
