Katy Clark launches Scottish Labour deputy leader bid
Former trade union lawyer calls for Labour to address inequality and fight privatisation
Katy Clark launched her bid to be deputy leader of the Scottish Labour Party yesterday with an appeal for the party to “reclaim the ground we have lost.”
“I am standing to help deliver the social and political change that the people of Scotland are demanding,” she declared.
“We must recognise that Scottish opinion is opposed to Trident, austerity, privatisation and attacks on welfare.”
