The man who famously ‘set about' a pair of would-be suicide bombers during the 2007 Glasgow airport terror attacks vowed to "create waves" in Westminster if he wins the parliamentary seat vacated by former Commons Speaker Michael Martin.

The 33-year-old ex-baggage handler said he will represent the people if he wins the Glasgow North East by-election.
