FORMER FIRST MINISTER DAMNS LABOUR’S ELECTION CHANCES

JACK PUTS GLOBETROTTING BEFORE CONSTITUENTS - AGAIN

Former First Minister Jack McConnell has damned Labour’s election chances
– as it has been revealed he is in talks with the Tories over keeping his
globetrotting job under a Tory Government – abandoning both the Labour
party and the people of Motherwell and Wishaw.

His concern for his own future, which has included meeting William Hague,
over his party’s comes on the same day it has been revealed a series of
Labour MPs have offered themselves for hire to lobbying companies.
Commenting on Mr McConnell’s wrong priorities SNP MSP for Central Scotland
John Wilson said:

“This shows the lack of confidence Jack McConnell has in a Labour victory
at Westminster and why Scotland’s voters need strong local champions not
typical politicians.

“How can Labour ask anyone in Motherwell and Wishaw or even in Scotland to
vote for them when their local MSP is already cosying up to the Tories.

“Jack McConnell has undermined Labour’s election and undermined Gordon
Brown’s leadership of the Labour party.

“The voters of Motherwell and Wishaw are being reminded once again that
they are being represented by a part-time MSP, who is happier to jaunt
around the world than he is dealing with issues in his own constituency.”
