Jumping Ship


More bad news for Scottish Labour as it looks forward to the next round of council elections - which take place of course in May 2012.

A Labour councillor in Glasgow - Irfan Rabbani - has jumped ship to the SNP and piles the pressure on in one of the few remaining councils - where Labour has an overall majority.

I don't know Councillor Rabbani - but apparently he has represented Pollokshields in the south of the city since 2007.

Apparently 49-year-old Rabbani told the BBC that he would not be standing in the local elections in May - although he would be campaigning for other SNP candidates in Glasgow.

Now what I'd be interested to know is why someone like Councillor Rabbani - has decided to ditch the Labour party - after being a member for 20 years.

Maybe it's down to political in-fighting - maybe not.

But whatever the reason Councillor Rabbani owes his constituents - and the voters of Glasgow - a proper explanation.

After all - we've been paying his salary for years - so it's the least the good people of Glasgow can expect.
