Trades Union and Socialist Coalition to contest by-election in Rutherglen and Hamilton West
THE Trades Union and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) has announced that it will contest the widely predicted by-election in Rutherglen and Hamilton West.
A by-election in the seat appears inevitable after the decision by Westminster’s standards committee to suspend Margaret Ferrier for 30 days following her conviction for breach of Covid-19 regulations. But the vote to ratify the decision on Thursday was delayed until after the Whitsun recess.
TUSC have selected Chris Sermanni, a Unison steward at Glasgow City council, to contest the seat.
