If a woman former-MSP who is now SSP - Labour haters - says that Mason bullied her then I'll believe that however soft he appears to his own sockies. This former SNP goes further and says that Margaret Curran played fair with her whereas her own party colleague No Mates Mason constantly sought to undermine her.

DGE fell out with many in party - usuaully because she did not like people who disagreed with her.

This is looking worse and worse for Labour - I read they only have a couple of dozen active members in the area.
