Published Date: 02 July 2009
FORMER MSP Tommy Sheridan is to stand for election to Westminster, bidding to win the Glasgow seat being vacated by former Speaker Michael Martin.
Mr Sheridan, leader of Solidarity, said: "If I get elected, I will take no more than an average worker's wage. I would campaign to abolish the disgraced and disgusting expenses system that lets MPs make a fortune on the back of taxpayers."

The by-election in Glasgow North-East may not take place until November.
