Monica Lennon: “We’re not waiting for a leader to come and change Scottish Labour’s fortunes.”

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

This leadership contest should have been a wide debate, rooted in courage, humility and the imagination to become a modern political party for workers and working class communities in Scotland.

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

They’re completely untrue. I’ve been clear in my statement to The Scotsman.
