Scottish Labour risks irrelevance if it doesn’t listen to voters

By Ged Killen

People in Scotland have used this election to send a clear message that they remain opposed to Brexit. Across the UK, Labour has lost out to unambiguously pro-Remain parties. 

Our result in Scotland was a disaster, made all the more painful by the loss of David Martin, the UK’s longest serving MEP. I pay tribute to David’s excellent work on behalf of the people of Scotland over three decades. The result is certainly no fault of his and no reflection on his extraordinary record.
