Labour in chaos
Responding to Anas Sarwar’s press conference, Scottish Green Co-leader Gillian Mackay said:
“It’s a devastating day for Labour when even Anas Sarwar agrees that the Prime Minister cannot be trusted.
"How can he ask people to support a Labour party that is led by a man who even he thinks is unfit for office?
“This chaos can’t continue. Scotland deserves so much better than an incompetent Westminster government that is mired in infighting, controversy and scandal.
“There is no two ways about it, Keir Starmer has to go. Despite warnings, he appointed a senior ambassador who was linked to one of the world’s most prolific abusers of women and girls. You can’t do that and stay as Prime Minister.
“This is a basic moral test for every Labour MP. Will they join the call for Starmer to resign or will they continue to look the other way?”
Gillian added:
“It’s not just Keir Starmer’s judgement that needs to be examined.
"As recently as a few days ago Anas was standing by his London leader. He also proudly posed with his 'old friend' years after everyone knew that Mandelson had stuck with Epstein.”
