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.
