LABOUR'S Ken Macintosh seems unnaturally calm for a man on the wrong end of one of the harshest boundary changes of the election.
Redrawing Eastwood, south of Glasgow, has turned his 2007 majority of 891 into a notional Tory lead of almost 3500.
Gone is Labour Barrhead, leaving him to tramp the affluent suburbs of Clarkston, Giffnock, Newton Mearns, Whitecraigs and Eaglesham. His numbers looked so bad, the party initially declined to fund his campaign. It’s no wonder his wife keeps asking him about a plan B.
