Tabloid challenges Sheridan to take lie detector test

FIREBRAND politician Tommy Sheridan was yesterday challenged to take a lie detector test by the News of the World, following his dramatic defamation victory over the tabloid.

The newspaper reported three key witnesses who gave evidence against the former Scottish Socialist Party leader during the sensational trial had passed independent polygraph tests.

News of the World columnist Anvar Khan, who claimed she had an affair with the Glasgow MSP, volunteered to be hooked up to the lie detecting machine, it was reported.
