I don't think much of her either. She didn't stand by what used to be her anti-EU principles and refuse to take a job in Kinnochio's first shadow Cabinet - as did others. The strongly eurosceptic Glaswegian Labour MP Iain Davidson (leader of the pro-sovereignty wing of the Labour Party) could have had a ministerial career but chose not to and to remain true to his anti-EU principles. Beckett just followed the direction of the wind and to hang on to her fat ministerial salary and perks.

I also don't agree with her anti-nuclear views. She is politically useless.
