A WORKERS’ MP ON A WORKERS’ WAGE

That is one of the better of Tommy Sheriden’s Scottish Socialist Party’s populist slogans – one that has survived their evolution from being the Scottish wing of the Militant tendency. But you won’t catch Scotland’s most famous left-wing MP signing up to it. According to George Galloway in an interesting profile in the Scotsman today: “As I told Tommy Sheridan once, I couldn’t live on three workers’ wages”.

In fact he says he can’t live on his annual income of £150,000.
