Anne McLaughlin, who won elections here in both 2015 and 2019, defends a 4,277 (10%) vote notional majority here for the SNP. The one-time MSP has had a stuttering parliamentary career in this, Glasgow's most marginal seat, and is currently the SNP's Westminster international development spokesperson.
Labour's 2017-19 MP, Paul Sweeney, has made his way to Holyrood in the intervening years, so it falls to Maureen Burke, a councillor for Glasgow's North East ward, to contest for the party. She'll be the favourite in what was, in 2010, Scottish Labour's safest seat.

I think that the Conservative Party will gain all the seats in Glasgow and Liverpool. |

I think that the Conservative Party will gain all the seats in Glasgow and Liverpool. I think that you're living in the mid-1950s. (Even then of course they did not win all of the seats in those cities, merely a majority.) |

I don’t want the smoking, the homophobia and the stranglehold of trade union power |

I prefer the 60s but of course without the music of the 50s that would not have been possible.

(Even then of course they did not win all of the seats in those cities, merely a majority.) Still had Tory MPs in Glasgow up to 1982, and that was due to death. Tam Galbraith was locally very popular as an MP, and might well have kept the seat in 1983 had he not died. In fact, my grandad spent two years trying to get his mum out of the Gartloch (where she been sectioned as an aging woman of the 1970s with Parkinsons) and Galbraith and Teddy Taylor did a lot to help the family win that case, even though they knew my grandad's family were loudly socialist! |

Oh no. It’s Carlton who wants to live in the 1950s. I don’t want the smoking, the homophobia and the stranglehold of trade union power Better BBC programmes Both Doctor Who and Match of the Day only began in the 1960s, so I'm not having that. Fair points with the rest of your list, mind. |
