This
no post on Cricket of Chris Gayle but on a woman who told ‘Loose women’
that she had voice coaching from Sean
Connery, the Iconic James Bond star. The politician appearing on ITV's Loose Women, also admitted that she paid more attention to
her appearance than she used to after reading some 'pretty derogatory stuff'
about how she looked. Loose Women is a
British panel show that has been broadcast on ITV since Sept 1999. The
programme focuses on a panel of four female presenters who interview
celebrities and discuss topical issues, ranging from daily politics and current
affairs, to celebrity gossip.
Nicola
Sturgeon's triumphant group of Scottish National MPs arrived at UK Parliament after flying to the capital together
following last week's stunning election triumph. The new MPs boarded a single
plane – dubbed 'Gael Force One' – to take up their seats in the Commons
as the party bids to make good on its promise to shake up Westminster's 'old
boys club'. It comes after Ms Sturgeon claimed her party – which won all-but
three of Scotland's 59 seats in an historic landslide elections – was now the
real opposition to the Tories and would work 'constructively' in Parliament.
The SNP's
20-year-old MP Mhairi Black was joined by Alex Salmond, Nicola Sturgeon and the
party's leader at Westminster Angus Robertson at Parliament. Ms Sturgeon, appearing on ITV's Loose Women,
dismissed claims she was the 'most dangerous women in Britain' and pledged to
make the 'Westminster system' work as best as she could. She has insisted the
SNP's 56 MPs will be able to exert influence at Westminster despite the Tory
majority.
Scotland's First
Minister insisted that she did not take
any joy from the problems facing vanquished Labour opponents. The SNP leader's remarks came after she
defiantly insisted that the Tories would have to listen to the 'will of the
Scottish people' despite Mr Cameron's unexpected victory in the election last
week. Ms Sturgeon said: ‘The polls have
been showing that, all of our private polling had been showing that but some of
these majorities we faced in Labour seats in the heart of Glasgow were massive. ‘So I don’t think I ever expected to win 56
seats. The exit poll when it came out at ten o’clock projected we were going to
win 58 seats and I quickly took to Twitter and said ‘don’t believe the exit
poll, we’re not going to do that’, and I was right. We didn’t so we’ve still
got some room for improvement.”
Ms
Sturgeon spoke to the Prime Minister, but revealed he had not indicated to her
that he was willing to move to offer Scotland full fiscal autonomy. The Scottish first minister slapped down her
predecessor, Alex Salmond, who had said her party's Scottish landslide had
brought independence closer. She said that despite what he had said, the SNP
was not 'changing its tune' on independence. But she warned that, if Britain
votes to leave the EU in 2017's in/out referendum, that could be a trigger for
another vote.
