Glasgow MSPs and MPs



Here's a joint letter from Glasgow MPs to the Managing Director of First Glasgow calling on the company to scrap fare increases.

The letter has been posted on Twitter by Stewart McDonald MP and fair play to them, I say,  because it's a matter of real interest and importance to their local constituents.

Wouldn't it be great to see a similar initiative from Glasgow's MPs on the long fight for equal pay in Glasgow - calling on the City Council to accept the judgment of the Court of Session, for example?

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. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'.
