LABOUR has sparked outrage after a man who proposed shipping refugee smuggler gangs on barges to the north of Scotland was selected as a parliamentary candidate.
SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn hit out after Josh Simons was chosen as the Labour candidate for Makerfield in north-west England.
Mr Simons, director of the Labour Together group, previously suggested smuggler gangs should be put on a barge, which could then be shipped to the north of Scotland.
