Audrey Dempsey walked away amid growing concern about her comments on racism.
A Glasgow councillor has quit Scottish Labour after facing heavy criticism over comments on racism against white people.
“This isn’t a decision I have come to lightly, or indeed recently. For some time now I have expressed my deep concern about the direction that the Labour Party is going in and that it no longer stands for working-class communities.”Dempsey also wrote that fellow Labour councillors had reacted negatively to a presentation she made on poverty:
“For me however, it is the way I work because it is the only way to get the desired results and resolve issues effectively."
