Monica Lennon says if pro-independence parties win majority in May, Labour must accept vote is needed
Monica Lennon, a contender for the Scottish Labour leadership, has said support for independence could increase if Labour fails to accept a fresh referendum may be needed.
Lennon, a candidate backed by the party’s left, said more voters would desert Labour and back independence if they saw the party lining up with Boris Johnson by refusing to accept the case for a referendum.
