Glasgow's Lord Provost faces calls to resign after £8,000 shopping spree exposed
Lord Provost of Glasgow Eva Bolander

GLASGOW’S lord provost is facing calls to resign after she blew £8,000 of taxpayers’ money on clothes in a “grotesque” spending spree.

Labour councillors called today for an investigation into the authority’s spending after SNP Councillor Eva Bolander’s expenses showed her claiming £1,150 for 23 pairs of shoes.

She also charged the taxpayer for six jackets, five coats and a £200 hat designed by supermodel Kate Moss.
