'He must show he is willing to finally stand up for the city he represents.'
Glasgow’s opposition councillors have agreed that Scotland’s new First Minister must deliver a fairer and “better deal” for the city.
Since his election, leaders of the Glasgow Greens, Labour and Conservative groups have all wished Mr Yousaf well in his new role but reiterated the importance of delivering a new deal for local governments and a “fairer deal” for Glasgow in particular. “In the context of Glasgow, it’s obviously good to have another city representative as First Minister. It will be important that he has delivered a new deal for local government, and a fair deal for Glasgow specifically, near the very top of his in tray and we look forward to making progress on this.”
“He failed as transport minister, failed as justice secretary and has been the worst health secretary since devolution, but he has managed to fail upwards. Labour Leader George Redmond also expressed his congratulations to the new First Minister but raised concerns that his “chaotic and divided” party was out of touch and out of ideas.‘This is a big moment for Scotland with the election of the first First Minister from an ethnic minority background.
