Hamish Macdonell - Second time lucky

MARGARET Curran has just announced she is to stand for Westminster at the next election, for Glasgow East, the seat she lost in this year's high-profile by-election.
Ms Curran stands a very good chance of unseating the SNP candidate John Mason in the election and gaining some, limited, revenge for the disastrous by-election defeat for Labour which precipatated the most serious problem for Gordon Brown of his premiership.
"I am a fighter. I said during the by-election that if you want a job done properly, ask a busy woman to do it. There is a job to be done in the East End of Glasgow and that’s why I am putting my name forward again," she said.
