Glasgow's MSPs and MPs



Here's what some of Glasgow's MSPs and MPs have been sharing and talking about on their Twitter feeds - today I'm highlighting Tweets from Sandra White, the MSP for Glasgow Kelvin and Patrick Grady, the MP for Glasgow North.

 Lots of interesting topics covered - local, national and international - although nothing about the fight for equal pay in Glasgow, as far as I could see. 

 More examples will follow in the days ahead.

    Priti Patel isn't the only Conservative to have visited the illegally occupied Golan Heights. Ten Scottish Tory MSPs went on a junket there last year.

    It wasn’t a “slip of the tongue”. It was a basic error that could cost a British woman years in jail.

LGB Rights - Hijacked By Intolerant Zealots!

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened. Given the new events being rolled out in London, Manchester and across the States, I think this sums up the *erm* transition of Pride. H/T @LGBNOW pic.twitter.com/HL87yIXXHg — Fred Sargeant (@FredSargeant) August 2, 2023 No doubt about it - the once proud campaign in support of lesbian and gay rights has been hijacked by intolerant trans zealots!

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.
