Scottish Tory Boy is reporting that Glasgow MSP Margaret Curran will be Labour's candidate in the Glasgow East by-election.
This morning's Scotsman reports that all Labour MPs in Scotland and MSPs have been ordered to help defend a seat - the loss of which could spell the end of Gordon Brown.
On CentreRight yesterday, Simon Chapman urged the Conservative Party to make it "the social justice by-election":
"The Conservatives won't come close to winning this by-election. But it presents an extraordinary opportunity to invite the nation's media to visit this archetypal Labour area and take that look around themselves - to see how Labour has betrayed the poorest in our society."
