NEXT week, the Court of Session in Edinburgh is expected to rule on whether to move forward the “freeze date” in the Scottish Labour leadership election so newer members can vote in the upcoming Glasgow South West selection.
Last year Matt Kerr, a postie, CWU official and Glasgow City Councillor, came within 60 votes of winning the seat. Kerr is keen to finish the job, and many are confident he can.
