Commenting as he visited Kelvindale Post Office with Glasgow North candidate Katy Gordon, Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Tavish Scott MSP said:
“Katy Gordon fought alongside local residents to save Kelvindale Post Office when they were threatened with closure. “Scottish Labour MPs stood by and did nothing while the UK Government decimated our Post Office network.
“Her Labour opponent voted for the Post Office closure in Westminster, but then tried to campaign locally against it.
“People in Glasgow North will see right through this. They know that if they want a spirited local campaigner who will fight for fairness and work hard to secure jobs and clean up politics, then Liberal Democrat Katy Gordon is the only choice.”
Kelvindale’s Postmaster, Mr Mohammed added: “I think very highly of Katy. In my 38 years here, nobody has ever made more effort to help us and the community.”
Katy Gordon, Liberal Democrat challenger in Glasgow North, has won the backing of Scottish literary giant Alasdair Gray to beat Labour in the General Election.
Mr Gray, who has voted for the SNP in the past, has switched his support to the Liberal Democrats due to Ms Gordon’s strong track record of community campaigning.
Mr Gray joins Cllr Alex Dingwall in rejecting the SNP in favour of a party that can win in Glasgow North.
Commenting, Ms Gordon said:
“I’m delighted to have Alisdair’s support.
“He recognises that only the Liberal Democrats can beat Labour in Glasgow North.
“This is an invitation to all SNP supporters who want a hard working local champion to join with Alasdair and vote for the Liberal Democrats.
Alasdair Gray added:
“Katy Gordon will have my vote because there is a good chance of her defeating the Labour candidate, and the Labour Party is now thoroughly corrupted.
“As a community campaigner she has fought against plans to throw Otago Lane into the hands of property developers, and helped to save local post offices while Labour has stood by and done nothing.”
