Keith Brown has written to Anas Sarwar after a video showed a Labour candidate saying the party supported the Tories in Aberdeen South in 2019A video obtained exclusively by The National showed Labour’s Tauqeer Malik saying his party supported Tory candidate Douglas Lumsden in 2019.] candidate, Douglas Lumsden, in 2019, we did not bother, Labour did not bother at all, we were hoping that Douglas would make it.
We also know this is not an isolated incident. In the Tory held seat of Aberdeenshire North and Moray East, the Labour Party has no candidate and across all Conservative-held seats in Scotland you are sending Labour activists elsewhere. Your party is at best absent, and at worst complicit, in an attempt to help the Tories return Scottish seats.If you have any authority and integrity, you will remove the Labour candidate in Aberdeen South immediately.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
