Humza Yousaf speaks out!

 Not about the fight for equal pay with Glasgow City Council, you understand, but over some obscure row in the Scottish Labour Party.

 Here's what Humza had to say on Twitter earlier today:

Jim Crow-esque tactics by Scottish Labour in Pollok. Disenfranchising Labour members to vote in selection contests because they have 'Asian-sounding names' all to rig the ballot for the Corbyn candidate @Cllr_Matt_Kerr - shocking stuff!

 Now I don't know if Humza has intervened at the request of the complainers, but I would very much like to hear from any equal pay claimants in Humza's Glasgow Pollok constituency who may have contacted their local MSP for support in the ongoing fight for equal pay.  

Because I would expect a local Glasgow MSP to show the same enthusiasm for holding the City Council to account over issues such as the WPBR's discriminatory 37 hour 'rule' or the role played by senior officials in introducing the WPBR - as Humza has shown in the internal affairs of the Labour Party in Glasgow.

So if any Glasgow readers can help, please drop me a note, in confidence of course - markirvine@compuserve.com 

In the meantime, here's a link to Politics Home and the story that Humza is trying to fire up.

"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. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P

What a complete hoot - these hypocrites have no shame! Peter Murrell  @PeterMurrell "Anonymous political donations supposed to be a thing of the past.
