Zarah Sultana’s recent brave criticisms of Labour from 2015 to 2020, including Brexit triangulation, IHRA capitulation and insufficient fighting spirit, have ruffled feathers but started an essential discussion, writes ANDREW MURRAY

DEMOCRACY is among the highest virtues of human society. It is little surprise then that various sides in the Brexit debate in Scotland have sought to ground their arguments in “respect for democracy” and “respect for the will of the people.”
On the one hand those who advocate exiting the European Union argue that the result of the 2016 referendum must be respected by delivering Brexit.
In opposition, last weekend also witnessed the escalation of a campaign to frustrate the referendum result, the so-called People’s Vote campaign.
