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.

The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. 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.
