Monica Lennon: “They’re completely untrue. I’ve been clear in my statement to The Scotsman.”

Punching down on trans people and other minorities is not acceptable. Do better, lead with decency and act with courage.

I think when people make vexatious complaints or do hit jobs in the media, then that undermines genuine concerns and cases.

The Parliament has been very clear to me, as has the Labour Party, that there have never been any allegations or complaints.

I don’t understand what’s behind it, but what I do know is it’s untrue.
