It was a bit of a surprise when Saltcoats lass Irene Campbell turfed out the 9-year-incumbent Patricia Gibson in the North Ayrshire and Arran constituency. Regular users of the ferry between North Ayrshire and Arran, however, were probably less surprised.
So who is "this new lady"?
Campbell is a local woman aged about 62 and is someone you probably wouldn't notice walking down the street. She was educated at Auchenharvie Academy in Saltcoats, and some unspecified university which she has never mentioned in any interviews. She then worked as a "programme manager" in "Britain's failing NHS." She is also a vegan and animals rights campaigner, and a keen supporter of Andy Burnham in the Labour Party (see photo above).

She appears to have a fun side, as she is also the chairperson of the campaign group "Splash," which is seeking to recreate the outdoor swimming pool that once existed in Saltcoats. Yes, if the SNP government don't get the ferries running properly, people in the area will need to brush up on their swimming skills.
