LABOUR’s shadow Scottish secretary Ian Murray has embarrassed his colleagues north of the Border after working closely with an aide from a think tank which Anas Sarwar previously tried to claim had no influence.Together in the form of a “secondee … to support me in my front bench role as shadow secretary of state for Scotland”., the secondee is from Labour Together and will work with Murray from March 4 to March 31, which is ascribed a value of £3088.62.
Speaking to the Daily Record, he went on: “ doesn’t represent the Labour party’s view. He doesn’t represent the Labour party and it’s actually quite a serious issue he trivialised.figures pointed out that the Labour Together think tank which Simons leads is far from the “fringes” of UK Labour. And now, Murray appears to have undermined Sarwar – his nominal leader – and proven that Labour Together do have close influence over the UK party frontbench.“I’m half Scottish, I love the country and it is where much of my family comes from. It was a poorly judged comment made in jest and doesn’t reflect my views, or the views of the Labour Party.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
