Christine’s great gift is her ability to communicate like a sentient human being, not like one of these robots mouthing the latest Conservative Central Office script.
Genuine straight-talking. Very impressive.
Christine has always been a great communicator, but she really is coming into her own as a powerful advocate for the party and our values. Great to see her taking the opportunity not just to critique the Chancellor’s proposals, but to put forward the positive suggestion of a wealth tax.
With Christian and Alec as your members of parliament Edinburgh West is doing very well for high quality representation these days!
