Now I've never heard any of these Labour MPs say anything about equal pay in recent years - I've certainly never heard any one of them speaking up on behalf of their local constituents.

Perhaps they don't want to criticise the behaviour of North Lanarkshire Council because it's a Labour-run council, but how anyone can defend the Council over equal pay is beyond me.

Because NLC and equal pay is a bad joke and the Council's senior officials have been shown to have presided over pay arrangements which discriminated against a largely female workforce.

If this happened in the private sector, I suspect the people responsible would all have been sacked by now.

But, the 'top brass' in North Lanarkshire all stay in post, no one answers for their actions, and in recent years they have even been receiving big bonus payments for good performance supposedly which is a terrible insult to the rest of the Council workforce, if you ask me.

All four Labour MPs are up for re-election in May 2015 and I would be very surprised if North Lanarkshire Council's handling of equal pay doesn't result in a backlash on polling day.   

And if I were an equal pay claimant in North Lanarkshire I would consider dropping these MPs a note and telling them, in no uncertain terms, what I think of the Labour Party's performance.

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P

What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past. Yet Scottish Tories pocketed £319,000 from secretive trust with no fixed address or known current trustees. @Conservatives legally responsible for checking true identity of donors before accepting cash. #DarkMoney "
