LABOUR leader Jeremy Corbyn visited Scotland recently to bolster socialist Elaine Smith’s campaign for re-election to the Scottish Parliament for Coatbridge and Chryston in May.
Addressing hundreds of trade unionists and party activists, Corbyn defended Smith’s record on standing up for her community, and Scottish Labour’s policies to take action against the worst Tory assaults.
He said that “all over the world people are rallying against austerity” and that in Scotland there was a clear choice between using the Scottish government’s new powers to “break with austerity” or accept the cuts as the SNP intend to do.
