THE SNP has called for an inquiry into the Labour Party’s candidate selection and vetting processes after four members were suspended in the same week for “liking” and sharing racist and Islamophobic comments targeting Scotland’s First Minister Humza Yousaf.

They included Labour Party parliamentary candidate Wilma Brown, a Glasgow city councillor, and two executive members of its Aberdeen University Labour Students society.

Councillor Audrey Dempsey was suspended on Tuesday after sharing and liking comments referring to the SNP leader as “Humza Hamas” and calling him the “Pakistani prime minister of Scotland.”
