Key marginal hosts rally for a Labour government

MUSICIANS, poets and comedians will rally tomorrow night in a key Scottish marginal constituency for “a Labour government that will rival the government of 1945.”

NHS worker and Unison rep Angela Feeney was just 318 votes short of winning the Motherwell and Wishaw seat, in North Lanarkshire, in the 2017 general election.

She has now been selected to contest the same seat at the next Westminster poll.

She will be joined on Friday evening by Glaswegian singer-songwriter Declan Welsh, poets Jim Monaghan and Iona Lee and comic Phil Differ.

Ms Feeney told the Star: “The road to a Labour government runs through Motherwell and Wishaw. But we need a Labour government that will rival the government of 1945.

“This event is bringing politics to the heart of our streets. This is Motherwell’s very own May Day gig.”

Friday May 3, 7.30pm, at Motherwell Miners Welfare. £10 on the door
