I hate to interrupt the member’s whinge—that is what it is—but the fact is that Councillor Cecil Meiklejohn welcomed those investment decisions for Falkirk, which is the constituency that Michelle Thomson represents, including those for the Westfield roundabout and community funding.

That is the pragmatism of local democracy as opposed to the ideological blindness that we hear from the Government front bench.
