He wasn’t just pissed off about the absence of debate on the Trident issue then?
I don’t know whether it had anything to do with this but there must be some tensions around in Scottish Labour over local re-selections for the STV elections as the number of safe seats will drop dramatically (even if everything else was equal which of course it isn’t).
Think you’ve got the wrong end of the stick here chaps. W Dunbartonshire is the worst council in Scotland and is in utter crisis; White’s removal has been pushed for by the Scottish Labour hierarchy. See Labour Watch for more on this.
