Pressure heats up on Murphy to go
PRESSURE from trade unions and activists was rising on Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy to quit his post before the party’s ruling Scottish executive committee meeting this morning.
The demands follow Labour’s catastrophic result in the general election on May 7 when the party was reduced to a single MP in Scotland, with Mr Murphy himself losing his own seat.
Communications union CWU was the latest to call for Mr Murphy’s resignation yesterday.
