North Lanarkshire Update
The Herald reports that the SNP in North Lanarkshire has passed up the opportunity to take control of the Council, as Labour's civil war continues to tear the once proud People's Party apart.
I can't say I blame them since the Labour councillors who are now abandoning their 'sinking ship' never once stood up and spoke up during the long fight for equal pay.
So why give them any credibility at this late stage of the game, especially if their real aim is to save their own political necks, as opposed to doing the right thing by their local constituents.

SNP councillors pass up chance to seize control of Labour fiefdom
By Tom Gordon - The Herald
NATIONALISTS have passed up the chance to seize one of Labour’s most prized councils.
SNP councillors voted against trying to end Labour’s 21-year reign in North Lanarkshire earlier this week, the Herald can reveal.
The decision was described as “disgusting” by some SNP members, who want the party to take over the council ahead of next year’s local elections.
