Glasgow, the city hosting a global environmental conference, also known as COP26, is itself in the midst of an environmental crisis. Once synonymous with the Labour Party, Glasgow is today an SNP stronghold. It's a word often used by Chris Mitchell, GMB Scotland Convenor for Glasgow City Council Cleansing, who started his working life 30 years ago as a street sweeper. 'Over the past few years, while the Scottish Government's budget has increased, the funding for Glasgow City Council has been cut by 15 per cent,' he says. With every opposition party campaigning to clean up Glasgow, some might feel it's time the SNP was swept clean from office.
