Scottish Socialist Party leader Tommy Sheridan said it was an insult to put an English lord in charge of Scotland.

"I didn't rate Helen Liddell, but at least she was a Scottish MP," he said.

"Lord Falconer's main claim to fame is that he shared a flat with Tony Blair.

"This reinforces the SSP's view that it is time that Scotland took charge of its own affairs as an independent socialist Scotland."
