Murphy's Law

Nov 16 2008

IT'S a rare politician who stays in touch with his roots.

Jim Murphy may now attend Cabinet meetings but he's not one to forget where he comes from.

The Scottish Secretary spent his childhood sleeping in a drawer in his granny's bedroom dresser.

He understands the fears of hardworking families facing a difficult economic future.

The government rescued bankers but should show equal concern for families doing their best...

So, just like Jim, their kids also have a chance to shine.
