Scottish Labour Leadership Race Narrowed | UK News

Scottish Labour’s leadership race has narrowed to two finalists, Michael Marra and Joe Fagan, after Monica Lennon fell short of nominations. The race ignited when Anas Sarwar stepped down to join Andy Burnham’s government, following Labour’s tie with Reform in the Holyrood election.

Acting leader Dame Jackie Baillie holds the reins until the winner is announced September 19th. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
