GMB Scotland leader speaks out as party rebels table no-confidence vote in leader
An influential union leader has warned that Labour faces an “existential crisis” in Scotland as rebels tabled a no-confidence vote in the party leader, Richard Leonard.
Gary Smith, the secretary of GMB Scotland, said the crisis over the party’s leadership and its plummeting popularity in Scotland raised profound questions about Labour’s future at UK level, with polls putting its support as low as 14%.
