SCOTTISH Labour have minimal influence over UK Labour policy, Jeremy Corbyn has said...
Speaking in an exclusive interview with The National, the former Labour leader's comments come after Anas Sarwar claimed in his manifesto that electing his MP’s put Scotland at the “beating heart of a Labour government”.
“I think Scottish Labour obviously have influence over candidate selection in Scotland because that's devolved to them. They also have influence over resources and allocation." But Corbyn also spoke of his time as Labour leader between 2015 and 2020, including the 2017 General Election where he won 3 million more votes than Keir Starmer, and the frosty reception he got from some in Scottish Labour when visiting Scotland.
Corbyn added: “And in Scotland, there was a refusal by some of the officials in Scottish Labour to use the slogan “for the many, not the few.”
