SNP MP accuses Scottish Labour of 'failing to take action on racism'
The SNP has accused Scottish Labour of "failing to take action on racism" after a former MP who was suspended by the party over allegations of anti-Semitism was handed a senior local council position.
Jim Sheridan, who represented Paisley and Renfrewshire North until 2015, was this week appointed depute leader of the Labour group on Renfrewshire Council.
Mr Sheridan was suspended from the party in August last year for a social media post which suggested that Jewish Labour members were acting in concert with “Blairite plotters” to undermine the leadership.
