'We need to convince Scotland that it's still a valuable part of England' tweeted Yvette Cooper.
How should we rate her chances of becoming PM of the UK?

Daft woman.

She'd be an asset to Nicola Sturgeon in underlining one of the reasons for the popularity of devolution. Has she never heard of the United Kingdom?

Right, she is off my list for a vote

You didn't even get a mention, did you, Anniebach?

Nooooo Jen , does the stupid woman not know England is the bit between Scotland and Wales - sorry England

Course it is! Cos the north starts at Watford to those trapped in the Westminster bubble. Scotland, N of England, makes no difference -they all talk with a funny accent.

That was a false Twitter account.
Yvette Cooper was born in Inverness so is probably unlikely to make such a silly remark.

Unless she was drunk ( then we all make silly remarks.)

I'm rather relieved. I'd have expected her husband to say something like that, but not her...
