Ucatt backs Findlay for Scottish Labour leader

FORMER bricklayer Neil Findlay won support yesterday from construction union Ucatt for his campaign to put struggling Scottish Labour back on firm foundations.

Ucatt became the sixth union to back Mr Findlay and fellow leftwinger Katy Clark, who is challenging for the party’s deputy leadership in Scotland.

General secretary Steve Murphy said the pair would create a “dynamic and radical leadership team” and put “clear red water” between Labour and the SNP with union help.
