Karen Whitefield MSP in Glasgow North East by-election email cock-up

Cara Hilton, Parliamentary Researcher to Karen Whitefield MSP, Airdrie & Shotts made a major email cock up this morning at 10.23am when she emailed every MSP and every Researcher.

With me so far?

Right, this Wednesday and next Wednesday USDAW are opening up their Edinburgh Offices from 5.30pm to 8pm for Glasgow North East telephone canvassing.

Is this a new cross party approach by USDAW?

Can I as the Director of Campaigns for the Scottish Liberal Democrats turn up tomorrow evening with my team of twelve?

I suspect not, because unfortunately for Cara Hilton she emailed every single MSP and MSP researcher to invite them along instead of just the Labour group, whoops, that's an email cock up of major proportions.

I suspect Cara won't be looking for a new role in Iain Gray's reshuffled cabinet!

Here is the email in full;
