'Campaigning' Kane Returns to Politics after Illness

Press Association
Rosie Kane made a characteristic return to politics today with a passionate plea to the Home Office to allow two Latvians living in her constituency to stay in the country.
Ms Kane, who has just returned to work as a Socialist MSP for Glasgow, is known for her campaigning against the Dungavel Detention Centre in Lanarkshire.
And after a five-week break to recover from depression it seems her ire has not died.
Following the news Latvian couple Genadijs Suhotskis and Jelena Serenja have been detained in Dungavel for deportation back to Latvia, the MSP fired off a letter to Home Office Minister Beverley Hughes in protest.
