'The reaction across Glasgow to this latest Westminster snub – both from politicians and civic society – has been fierce.' DavidLinden
ONE of the things the Tories are really good at – admittedly not words I normally use as a Glasgow MP – is coming up with simple campaign phrases that stick in peoples’ minds.
Until fairly recently in Glasgow you couldn’t turn a street corner without seeing billboard adverts from the British Government talking about levelling up “in your area”.Despite recently making seven impressive bids for Levelling Up funding, Glasgow was snubbed and awarded nothing. Zilch. Hee-haw. Our funding applications – one for every Westminster constituency in Glasgow – were well thought through and each had the potential to deliver real transformative change for the benefit of everyone living here.Since summer last year, I have been trying to make the British Government sit up and take notice of the need for Easterhouse to finally get its fair share.
Over and above the decades of austerity inflicted on us by Westminster Governments we didn’t vote for, Easterhouse recently had its Jobcentre – a vital resource in tackling high unemployment in the area – shut down by the out-of-touch Department for Work and Pensions. Glasgow is a great city and its best asset truly is the folk who live here – hence the slogan People Make Glasgow – but there is no doubt that decades of austerity, deindustrialisation and economic storms have taken their toll on our city.
