|
Campaigning in the Glasgow east by-election will take on a health theme as Scottish Conservatives limber up for a “stretch and tone” session.
Leader Annabel Goldie will join the party’s Mary Scanlon and candidate Davena Rankin at a leisure centre to promote living a healthy lifestyle.
The SNP will talk about benefits of Glasgow’s 2014 Commonwealth Games and Labour will highlight apprenticeships.
The Lib Dems will be focusing on training opportunities.
Labour candidate Margaret Curran and Glasgow City Council leader Steven Purcell will highlight the importance of apprenticeships to Glasgow’s future, while visiting a construction site on the city’s Lochdochart Road.
SNP candidate John Mason and First Minister Alex Salmond will meet 2014 hopeful and four times Scottish featherweight champion boxer Jonathan Slowey.
Lib Dem candidate Ian Robertson will again be joined by Liberal Democrat MSP and Scottish leadership candidate Tavish Scott when they visit the East End Community Academy in Parkhead, which offers computer training to enable people to enter the workforce.
Voters in Glasgow East go to the polls on 24 July, when they will choose between nine candidates.
The by-election is taking place in one of the safest Labour seats in the country after the party’s David Marshall stood down because of health reasons.
Labour had a 13,500 majority over the Nationalists at the last general election.
