Well it's come to this! You requested it and now I've delivered an interview with my Dad and former Labour MP for Inverclyde. My Dad will always be my political hero, now you can hear a personal political story about his early days as an apprentice mechanic and what prompted him to become politically active in the 1980's. Having served as a Councillor in Inverclyde and Council Leader in 2011 he was elected in a By-election to Parliament.
