SCOTTISH LABOUR WHIP TO STAND DOWN FROM PARLIAMENT
GROWING OPPORTUNITY FOR SCOTTISH CONSTITUENCIES TO CHOOSE LOCAL CHAMPIONS
Commenting on the announcement that Labour MP Tommy McAvoy is to stand
down at the General Election, Central Scotland SNP MSP Christina
McKelvie said:
"As a Labour Whip, Tommy MacAvoy was one of Gordon Brown's most loyal
lieutenants - but even he is abandoning his leader as Labour limp
towards the Election.
"He adds his name to the list of embattled Labour MPs who would rather
take their resettlement packages rather than face an angry electorate.
No doubt some people will be asking why?
"With a quarter of sitting Scottish Labour MPs choosing to jump, such
an exodus opens up a great opportunity for ordinary people across
Scotland to choose local champions to represent them rather than the
same old politicians from the discredited London parties.
"In Graeme Horne the people of Rutherglen and Hamilton West have an
excellent choice for a local champion."
