Leonard gets new left SEC members

RICHARD LEONARD’S position as Scottish Labour leader received a boost after two left-wing activists were elected with thumping majorities to the party’s Scottish executive committee (SEC).

Longstanding Jeremy Corbyn loyalists Michael Muir and Enas Magzoub were elected to represent young members on the SEC yesterday.

The Star understands that both won with a two-to-one majority over their nearest rivals.
