Rachael's voice of reason

Tipping the Velvet star Rachael Stirling made a flying visit to Scotland yesterday to back the party launched by her dad earlier this year.

The star of the historical drama was handing out leaflets supporting her dad Archie, who has joined forces with NHSFirst for the Scottish Voice party. They are fielding 15 candidates in the election.

Rachael, 29, currently appearing in The Taming Of The Shrew, in London, said: "I am very proud of my pa who, at a time in his life when he would rather be playing golf, has put his head above the parapet and said to our politicians at Holyrood, 'This is just not good enough.'

"He is brave and defiant and an object lesson to us all. I had to come up for the day to show my support."
