THE front-runner to be Labour's candidate in the seat held by disgraced MP Eric Joyce is facing questions over her judgment after she said she would throw a party when Margaret Thatcher dies.
A photo of the 87-year-old former Conservative Prime Minister was posted on left-winger Karie Murphy's public Facebook page in January. It was emblazoned with the words: "One Hellbound Bitch!"
Next to the picture, Ms Murphy, tipped to secure Labour's Westminster candidacy in Falkirk with the backing of the Unite union, wrote: "Having a party when she dies."
