    Why have you not received and publicised the endorsement of David Marshall for your candidacy?  Is it not usual for the incoming candidate of the same party to get the backing of the retiring MP?

Show more »You were asked on Radio Scotland this morning if you will move to the east End of Glasgow if elected. You ducked the question and went on to talk at machine gun speed incase you were asked to answer the question.

    You stated at the beginning of the campaign that you have lived in the East End all your life, why should any one believe a word you say?

    Why do you not know where David Marshalls office is, if you are so familiar with the area?

    You come across as someone who talks to fast as if you are trying to stop others from talking, do you hear and understand other people talking? Show less »

Show more »During the 18 years of the Tories in power, they kept a tight squeeze on public sector pay. 6 months after being elected Gordon Brown made this statement, "public sector workers will have to accept inflation, or less than inflation wages rises for the foreseeable future". Bearing in mind MP's have awarded themselves wages rises of 26% etc, during the last ten years, when will the ordinary public sector worker get a half decent pay rise? Please don't answer times are hard and we all to suffer the pain, 2.5 % of an MP's salary is quite substansial, 2.5% of of an ordinary public sector workers pay is a pittance and we don't get subsidy's for food, drink, travel to work, or to furnish our own houses.
