Ed For PM!


Ed Miliband - the Labour Party leader - has received a big boost is his drive to become Prime Minister - the support of one George Galloway, the Respect MP for Bradford West.

Now Ed probably wanted this endorsement like another hole in his head - because George of course took the Bradford West seat from Labour - which represented a humiliating defeat for the Labour leadership.

But George knows how to milk a media opportunity for all its worth and his recent private meeting with the Labour leader (see post dated 25 April 2013 - 'Come Into My Parlour) - has given the Respect MP the opportunity to patronise his new chum.

By George saying that he wants to see Ed as Prime Minister - "the sooner the better".

Ouch! - that had to hurt, because no one likes being talked down to and treated in this patronising way.

Not least because it has forced the Labour leader to respond and be rude about George by saying that while George may want Ed to become PM - Ed doesn't want George to be returned as an MP.

And I thought the two men were getting on like a house on fire.

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? 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'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
