Dear All
Bad news for the Glasgow Labour Party’s cash cow and travel agent, the SPT, the Scottish Government is pressing for an under-fire transport body to “reform itself”.
Nice idea but it should be closed down.
The remaining powers transferred to Transport Scotland, let us not waste time and drop this dead donkey.
The Glasgow Labour Party has no intention of reform just ‘changing the curtains’.
Three senior Labour Party figures from Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) have already resigned after the scandal broke.
Ron Culley, former Labour PPC and Chief Executive
Alistair Watson, Labour Councillor Glasgow
David McLachlan Labour Councillor
This prompted Steven ‘bin laden’ Purcell to make a ‘substitution’ at the Glasgow Rangers supporting board.
Purcell has something in common with footballer managers, his knack of picking the wrong team.
Glasgow Rangers supporter Alistair Watson steps down to be replaced by Jonathan Findlay.
Both Watson and Findlay have something in common to, they each received their Glasgow Rangers away tickets as freebies, Watson via City Building and Findlay via Castlebrae Drainage.
Glasgow SNP MSP Sandra White during First Minister`s Questions asked Alex Salmond to agree with her that a “wider investigation is essential so that the SPT Board can explain themselves.
Alex Salmond said of allowing the SPT to reform;
“If this does not materialise, however, we will consider amending the existing order which defines their constitution and membership”.
He added that the political complexion of the partnership`s 20 councillor members, which has a Labour majority, “does not look like a broadly-based cross-party organisation”.
And that is the problem right across the quango network; it is stuffed with Labour placemen and women.
The SNP Government should write off the SPT as a bad loss and transfer the remaining powers to Transport Scotland.
It is time that Glasgow Labour Councillors ‘took the train’.
Yours sincerely
