A CAMPAIGN has been launched to see a Labour candidate reinstated after the party stopped backing her over her views on a second Scottish independence vote.
Hollie Cameron, who was selected by Labour members in Glasgow Kelvin constituency in May’s Holyrood election, was informed she had been dropped by the party over comments made about a potential second independence referendum in the Sunday National.
A panel of Scottish executive committee (SEC) members claimed that they were not satisfied Ms Cameron would follow the party whip if elected, after she told the newspaper that she “respects the right” to have a second referendum on independence, her only “quibble” was on timing.

Special ties have been presented to pupils to recognise a wide array of successes. Achievement ties for each of the school’s houses – Garleton, Lammerlaw and Traprain – were established last year. Now, more than 20 pupils have received either achievement ties or endeavour certificates to mark their efforts. Sue Cook, headteacher at the Haddington secondary school, said: “The achievement ties and endeavour certificates are a great way of recognising and rewarding our young people for demonstrating our school values of ambition and community. “This term, these have been presented for wider achievement in sport, the arts and citizenship at school, regional and national levels.
