A kick in the teeth

WHILE Kezia Dugdale swans off to appear in a reality show, I will remind her she is paid as an MSP to ensure schools are hiring qualified teachers, not students as is happening in the real world.

To pen a letter saying she isn’t missing much at a time when the Tories continue their attack on the poor is a kick in the teeth to those who voted for her.

It also does the Labour Party no favours. John, Renfrewshire

Going to waste

THE Chancellor’s autumn budget has as usual incurred the wrath of First Minister Nicola Sturgeon calling the £2billion allocation a “con” as the funds are earmarked for specific projects and can’t be used for the usual SNP nonsense.

There seems little point in giving Scotland additional funding if the SNP administration are to squander the money on harebrained schemes like the baby boxes nobody wants and the very questionable Named Person Bill, which serves to undermine parental rights.. Dennis Forbes Grattan, Aberdeen

Weather woes

SNOWFALL in Glasgow. Plunging temperatures and ice or frost in the mornings. You would think after all these years, councils across Scotland would get things in order before it happens and not after the public fall prey to conditions. Kelly Stevenson,
