From the pages of the Dundee Courier’s Political Round-up comes this heartening tale of hard work rewarded.
That hard work is, according to Labour, the work of Dundee’s sole flyer of the red flag, Dundee West MP Jim McGovern. The Courier reports that Jim claims to have put in a huge amount of effort to secure Dundee a £100 million taxpayer boost for the high tech gaming industry in which the city excels.
It is suggested that Jim has been slogging away night and day by all possible means to secure that huge (and it is huge so I will say it again) £100 million.....and, I suppose, to help secure his lonely outpost of ex-Labour domination on the Tay.
But wait a minute........... This is a Labour MP we are talking about. The sort that likes to take all the credit, but do very little for it. So imagine Jim’s ire when some busybody sent in an FOI request to the Scotland Office to actually see all the communications on this subject between our Jim and them.
How dare they not take Honest Jim at his word, the blackguards!
Just out of interest, how many communications where there, I hear you all ask?
Well the answer given from the Scotland Office was........ one, and that was a letter sent to Dundee West MSP, Joe Fitzpatrick, Jim’s SNP counterpart in the Scottish Parliament.
Oh dear!
Hardly value for money is Jim, the ninth most expensive MP at Westminster with a whopping claim for £171,989.
It seems that 'well done Joe' should really be the order of the day.
