Glasgow - A Voice of Reason



Paul Sweeney, the MP for Glasgow East, is the first Glasgow politician to support my suggestion of selling off the Council's new Rolls Royce, along with its personalised number plate, and putting the money aside to help meet the cost of the Council's obligations on equal pay.

 A voice of reason, I would say, and I'm sure Paul Sweeney's support will be welcomed by thousands of equal pay claimants across the city because the council seems to have taken leave of its senses over the past few days.

 Here's our exchange on Twitter from earlier today although I'm still waiting to hear from Glasgow's other 14 constituency MSPs and MPs who are presumably all up at the SNP conference in Aberdeen.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
