SCOTTISH Labour are facing questions over their selection process after eleven executive members of a constituency party resigned over a candidate’s removal ahead of this year’s Holyrood election.
Prominent Labour members in Glasgow Kelvin have stepped back from their committee roles following the removal of local activist Hollie Cameron as a candidate — after her selection by local members.
The decision came as a panel from Labour’s Scottish executive committee said they were not satisfied that Ms Cameron would follow the party whip, citing her comments which suggested that she “respects the right” to have a second referendum on independence.
Having endured 14 years of Tory austerity followed by Starmerite cuts, young voters are desperate for change — but Anas Sarwar’s refusal to differentiate from Westminster means Scottish Labour risks electoral catastrophe, writes LAUREN HARPER
'Genuine reform is desperately needed'
