Glasgow Councillors - Cllr Rhiannon Spear

 

I had a look at Cllr Rhiannon Spear's entry in Glasgow City Council's official 'Register of Interests' which says:

Rhiannon Spear (Greater Pollok - 3)

Remuneration 

1) No councillor's salary declared 

2) Air BnB: irregular income from spare bedroom

But this isn't the full story because there's no detail of the councillor salary which Rhiannon is entitled to as Chair of the Education Committee, as senior post which attracts a full-time salary of around £26,000 a year or an hourly rate of £15.    

Now I find this interesting because Cllr Spear says she is a 'Law Student' (see tweet below) while carrying out her full-time councillor role with Glasgow City Council. I don't know what the 'TIE' campaign is though I will now make a point of finding out.

Meanwhile Cllr Spear's comments about 'hating the UK' look pretty dumb when the UK has chosen Glasgow to host the COP26 international climate change conference in November 2021.

Also Cllr Spear's comments on 'fair pay' smack of complete hypocrisy when low paid council workers in Glasgow are still fighting for a decent pay rise in 2021 - and for their long standing equal pay claims to be settled.

"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...
