        @BBCBreaking 55 is no age. Very sad to hear the news about Charles Kennedy. Always had time for him after he said he was a big Bowie fan.

        @BBCBreaking Here's hoping the SNP troll brigade manage to maintain some self control in light of this sad, sad news.

        @BBCBreaking Sad news. He was loyal to his party & to his beliefs. He fought a substantial rear-guard in the old liberal cause. Gallant.
