Where's Richard? (16/01/18)



What has Richard Leonard been Tweeting about these past couple of days?

Well here's what I pulled off the Scottish Labour leader's Twitter feed earlier today - and surprise, surprise there's not a word about the fight for equal pay in Glasgow City Council.

How very disappointing, especially as Labour-led Glasgow City Council:
  • created the equal pay problem in the first place
  • defended the indefensible WPBR pay scheme for 10 years
  • even though Scotland's highest court judged the WPBR to be 'unfit for purpose'
But maybe there's time for Richard to show some leadership by calling on Labour councillors in Glasgow to accept the unanimous judgment of the Court of Session.

    The collapse of Carillion will have a huge impact on people's jobs, pensions & contracts. We need to know the extent of exposure, both for construction & facilities management projects across the public sector. The Scottish & UK governments should act urgently to save jobs.

    Reminder in today’s that on January 13 1893 Keir Hardie and others formed the Independent Labour Party. In doing so Hardie sought not to modestly tinker with the structure of society, but rather to radically change it from the root up.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. 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. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull.
