EXCLUSIVE: The emails show the tensions in the Labour group in South Lanarkshire council, which is run by the party.
Labour’s by-election campaign in Rutherglen and Hamilton West has suffered a blow over leaked emails revealing a “civil war” in the local council.
"We have South Lanarkshire Labour embroiled in a grubby civil war, a Labour candidate in Rutherglen and Hamilton West who has copied Anas Sarwar and ditched his principles to toe the Westminster party line, and a UK Labour leader who has u-turned on a raft of progressive manifesto pledges to be more like the Tories.”
The latest row concerns a meeting of the full council last year in which McAdams said she had had her “political committees” taken off her.Her comments sparked an angry backlash among colleagues, including from Fagan. Another Labour councillor, Davie McLachlan, responded: “Today was a disgrace and an embarrassment to this Labour group. We all know that this is available for any member of the public to see but I’m afraid that this could be why Monique conducted herself the way she did, to cause embarrassment to you and in turn every other group member. I am left wondering where we go from here given the damage already done.
