Monica Lennon: “Scotland must not become a footnote in the Burnham government.”

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.

The allegations are untrue. There are no formal complaints to Parliament or to the party. That’s over a 10-year period.

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