Scottish Labour Eyes Major Shift

Scottish Labour is facing a major reckoning this summer, with breaking away from the UK Labour party now on the table after a disappointing Holyrood election. Led by Anas Sarwar and Jackie Baillie, the party is rallying members, unions, and allies to chart a new course — one with more Scottish control. Former MSP Monica Lennon revealed voters were distracted by Westminster chaos, even saying backing a Scottish Labour candidate felt like endorsing the PM. While she admires Andy Burnham’s grassroots appeal, Lennon insists Scotland can’t wait for UK leadership to fix its problems — the real challenge is homegrown renewal. And with Reform rising, she’s clear: the future must be built here, not in London — and she’s still very much a political animal.
