Baillie describes Labour result as ‘catastrophic’
Commenting on the 2019 General Election, Jackie Baillie, MSP for Dumbarton, said: “This election was nothing short of catastrophic for the Labour Party across the United Kingdom. We failed to have a clear position on the two biggest constitutional issues facing our communities – Brexit and Scottish independence. Clearly Jeremy Corbyn needs to resign. If our Party is to survive we need to take a long hard look at ourselves and the verdict of voters. We must learn the lessons that we failed to address from the 2017 General Election and 2019 EU election. To the thousands of communities across Scotland and the rest of the UK who are in desperate need of a progressive, compassionate government, Labour should apologise for letting them down.”
