Many years ago in Glasgow there was an old saying that you could "put a red rosette on a pun o' mince and they'd still vote Labour". I couldn't find a photo of mince and that all changed with John Mason's victory in Glasgow East 2 years ago. I'm off to do what I can to make sure there's no slippage and the people of Glasgow East can look to the future with optimism knowing they have rejected the Unionist mince and are getting themselves an MP who is open, accountable, hard working, accessible and most importantly, and most novel for the area, is actually THERE! Good luck today to John Mason but more good luck to the people living in Glasgow East - you deserve better than you had with Labour and it's all within your hands.
