SCOTTISH Labour leader Jim Murphy yesterday faced a storm of protest from across the political spectrum over his role as an adviser to a hard-right think tank.

The SNP, Scottish Greens and Communist Party of Britain — as well as human rights experts and left-wing Labour activists — all demanded Murphy’s resignation from the Henry Jackson Society, named after an anti-communist US senator (pictured).

Mr Murphy sits on the neoconservative society’s political advisory council.
