Labour MSP Paul Sweeney accused of wanting to 'abandon' Holyrood after just one year
A top Labour MSP has been accused of wanting to “abandon” Holyrood after a year in the Scottish Parliament
Scottish Labour is proposing a double jobbing clampdown that would prevent sitting MSPs from switching to Westminster. In an email to his party’s governing body, obtained by the Record, Sweeney flagged up the “key role” of regional MSPs in “driving forward the party’s electoral progress in Scotland”. He called for “discretion” in cases where a regional MSP has a “significant relationship” to a UK parliamentary constituency, such as “having served as the previous MP”.
