Labour is not fielding a candidate in Aberdeenshire North and Moray East after it withdrew support for candidate Andy Brown over a 'pro-Russia' social media post.
Stephen Flynn has called on Labour to back the SNP in Aberdeenshire North and Moray East to make sure outgoing Tory leader Douglas Ross loses.
Flynn said Labour refusing to back the SNP "will lead to real questions about whether Labour would prefer to see their former Better Together allies winning seats over the SNP". Facing backlash from his Scottish colleagues, Ross announced days later that he will stand down as Scottish Tory leader after the election.
“At this election we have the chance to give him the electoral defeat that he deserves – but that will need everyone who wants to see the Tories beaten to unite behind the SNP. “Douglas Ross has already been forced into resigning as leader of the Tories. If he isn’t good enough for the Tories, he certainly isn’t good enough for the people of the North East of Scotland.
