Earlier today, he said the party would write to Ofcom over the issue. But Mr Sarwar said the Alba Party is not a serious attempt to actually influence politics but rather a political campaign that is trying to cover a bid for revenge . Asked if he would share a platform with Mr Salmond, Mr Sarwar initially said it was for the broadcasters to decide . Pushed on this, he said: I am happy to share a platform with people who want to debate Scotland s future. What I don t want to do is get involved in any kind of revenge mission. Asked if he would refuse to share a platform with Mr Salmond, Mr Sarwar was unable to say either way.
Jayda Fransen VOTERS in Glasgow will tell a far-right candidate where to go , the leader of Scottish Labour has said. Anas Sarwar said he had no fear over Jayda Fransen s decision to stand in Glasgow Southside, where both he and Nicola Sturgeon are running. Ms Fransen announced earlier this year that she planned to stand against the “SNP commies, Marxists, naughty people”. Although a member of the British Freedom Party, documents from Glasgow City Council show Ms Fransen will be running as an independent. She has previously been convicted of a number of religiously-aggravated crimes, including harassment in both 2016 and 2018 – the latter of which saw her sentenced to 36 weeks in prison.
