Rebels fail to gain enough support to win no-confidence motion amid last-minute manoeuvring by party officials
A rebellion by Scottish Labour’s centrists aimed at toppling their party leader, Richard Leonard, has collapsed after they failed to force through a motion of no confidence in his leadership.
The rebels withdrew their motion at the party’s Scottish executive committee (SEC) meeting on Saturday after failing to gain enough support to win amid last-minute manoeuvring by party officials.
