First Minister and Equal Pay



I enjoyed this article from The Herald which reported that Scotland's First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, is up for a scrap with extra-terrestrials invading Planet Earth in a modern re-working of The Kraken Wakes.

 Great news if you ask me, because it suggests that after fighting off invading aliens it should be child's play for the First Minister to get stuck into Labour-run North Lanarkshire Council over equal pay.

She has obtained sweeping new powers for Scotland, leads a party poised to dominate Holyrood for years - and is now set to restore order to a UK invaded by aliens.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is to make first foray into radio drama - playing herself as a calming voice of authority as Britain is besieged by extra-terrestrials

Ms Sturgeon appears in the BBC Radio 4 production, The Kraken Wakes, a modern retelling of John Wyndham's classic 1953 apocalyptic novel, which has been adapted by the Scottish crime writer and dramatist Val McDermid.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? 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'.
