Sir
Twice in one week the people of Glasgow have been betrayed by their elected representatives in the House of Commons. On Tuesday they voted to drop a bombshell on the city’s whisky industry by approving a 59p per bottle tax hike. On Wednesday, not one of our MPs spoke in the debate about Post Office closures, but those present happily walked through the Government lobby to oppose the motion calling for halt to Post Office
reform programme.
Our MPs must explain themselves to Glasgow residents – why do they campaign locally to save Post Offices but vote in favour of closing them?
Yours sincerely
