LABOUR have been accused of “parachuting in paper candidates” after a raft of their Scottish General Election picks were revealed to be based south of the Border.In November, Ward tried to win the Labour nomination in Beckenham and Penge, in the south of the English capital. She pledged to"win on my own doorstep".Her selection makes her just the latest Labour candidate in a Scottish constituency who is based in England.
Dr Lucy Beattie, who will run for the SNP against Kestner in Caithness, Sutherland and Ross, hit out at the party parachuting in candidates. A Scottish Labour spokesperson went on: “Every Labour candidate is united around our plan to deliver the change Scotland needs – from more jobs to lowering bills and strengthening Scotland’s position in a reformed and renewed United Kingdom.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
