The Herald: Activist MSP proves more than a pretty face
Within the chamber, in spite of being new to parliamentary politics, she has quickly demonstrated confidence and intelligence that belies that.
However, her main quality has been a smouldering ferocity on the issues that drive her — health, poverty and the trade union struggle.
Yesterday that anger boiled over and she stormed out of the chamber to join protesting nursery nurses, followed by the other SSP members.
As her close friend and SSP MSP colleague Ms Kane said: "We left with her in solidarity. We'd rather be on this side of the barricade than across there."
