Anas Sarwar has been accused of being part of an elitist Labour Party.
But a Labour source dismissed his resignation as “a bitter attack” and said Cllr Morgan should resign his seat and trigger a by-election.
In his letter, Cllr Morgan said it was an “obscenity” that “Baron Jack McConnell” had campaigned for Mr Sarwar in the latest leadership campaign, and it would have had “Keir Hardie birling in his grave”.
He writes: That is, an unelected member of the most obscene, elitist, and anti-democratic ‘club’, in British society (the House of Lords), preaching about politics, ‘for the 21st century’, whilst touting support for a multi-millionaire. What an absolute political obscenity.
OH to have been a spy in the office as Richard Leonard pondered his future as branch manager of the imperial Labourites! He has always struck me as an oddity, someone way out of his depth and certainly not a person with any clear understanding of the Scottish politic. Did he honestly believe all he had to do was swan in and speak in disjointed statements and the voters of Scotland would flock back to the banner? Did he not realise the toxicity of his party? Did he not understand that his party, along with the other parties that owe allegiance to the foreign capital, have not only burnt their bridges leading to the voters of Scotland, but heavily cratered all approaches leading to the remains of those bridges?
