The Scottish Labour leader told journalists he would not “turn my back” on candidates from down south who had a “connection” or “love” for Scotland.
Anas Sarwar has defended Labour's decision to select general election candidates from England in Scottish seats.
Melanie Ward, the chief executive of the charity Medical Aid for Palestinians, will fight the Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath seat despite living in London. “I am not going to turn my back on someone that has a love for Scotland, history with Scotland or a connection with Scotland that wants to deliver for the people of Scotland.”
