Tipped as a future Prime Minister
In the spring of 1998, Little Nell's career seemed about to take off and she was being tipped as Donald Dewar's successor in the short term and Tony Blair's successor in the long term.
Tipped for the knacker's yard
In July 1999, Little Nell was called the unluckiest politician in Scotland after losing out on the position of Secretary of State for Scotland to Dr John Reid then being booted out of the cabinet-attending position of Minister of Transport to make way for Lord Gus Macdonald. She is now merely a humble Minister of State in the Department of Trade.
Tipped to win votes for the SNP
In January 2001, Little Nell was firmly back in the saddle as the first ever woman Secretary of State for Scotland. If her past record as Scottish Education Minister is anything to go by, the future looks set to be explosive!
