Back in the USSR

 Alex Massie wrote a great article on Jeremy Corbyn's decision to hire The Guardian journalist, Seamus Milne, as the Labour Party's new 'spinmeister' general.

 Now it seems completely bonkers for Labour to recruit someone whose political views are so out of touch from the vast majority of voters, until you stop and reflect on the fact that Jezbollah Corbyn will be completely at home with Milne's relentlessly anti-western political outlook.  

 So look out for more thrills and spills as Seamus seeks to get Labour's message across which he did, I understand, by giving an early interview to President Putin's propaganda TV channel - Russia Today.

 I read somewhere that  Seamus is 'on leave' from The Guardian which is an extremely odd arrangement, suggesting perhaps that he doesn't expect to be in his new post for the long haul.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
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
