Labour should take Jeremy Corbyn as a fighting partner as he is becoming a working class hero. Dump the bland Blairite image and learn a lesson from the last beating at the polls. Corbyn is seen as a working class hero so join forces and get back on track.

I'd like to openly show my gratitude to a genuinely great, kind and caring Fitness Instructor, by the name of Lori Boyce.

Her level of compassion shown to all those who attend her Circuit Training - Step Classes at Glasgows Leisure Centres is touching.

She has helped countless people back to good and better emotional and physical health, myself included. I hope she gets the praise and recognition she deserves.

Alex Salmond's suggestion that the iconic Houses of Parliament be turned into a museum was just another ill-considered attempt to grab some headlines, as was obvious from the "or somewhere" that followed his hastily-proposed alternative. I'm now wondering what the former First Minister's attitude might be to the White House, Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral, and the Vatican!

Regards health staff forced to abandon patients to feed parking machines, as a student nurse in my first year I think it's a total disgrace that there aren't allowances made for staff and relatives of patients at hospital parking. The patient needs always comes first is what we are taught however, nurses and medical staff clearly don't get paid enough in the first place for the job they do never mind having to pay penalty fines on top if it. As for relatives of patients in hospital, you're up visiting your loved ones, some of whom maybe seriously ill and the last thing you want to be doing is clock watching. Disrespectful and s disgrace.

The council need to provide parking for the staff. It is ridiculous that nurses and doctors and other staff have to move their car or they get fined. By doing this the council are denying the proper care to patients. It's not fair to the staff! Stop making maximum stay car parks.
