New Scottish Labour Anas Sarwar has appeared to back the nine suspended Aberdeen councillors.
The Glasgow MSP appeared on Good Morning Scotland and revealed that he thought of the group as “not former Labour colleagues, I regard them as Labour colleagues.”
The nine councillors were suspended from the Labour party after forming an administration with the Conservatives in 2017.
They have been banned from standing as Labour councillors until 2022.
Mr Sarwar was asked about his opinion on the ongoing situation and said that they “had not been dealt with appropriately.”
