Scottish Labour councillor suspended over race row linked to new far right party

EXCLUSIVE: Audrey Dempsey has liked various tweets that portray the far right Homeland Party positively.

A Glasgow Labour councillor suspended over a race row has promoted a far right party chaired by a former BNP organiser.

“It’s increasingly concerning that those who openly support bigoted views keep getting selected as Labour candidates. Anas Sarwar needs to take a serious look at his party and ensure this is rooted out before it can do any more damage to our communities.” One of the posts she liked was: “Shocking to see you suspended for standing up for Scottish children, shows where Labour's priorities are. The @Homeland_Party is the only party that will truly support our people.”

Homeland, which lists its official HQ in Kirknewton in West Lothian, was formed as a splinter organisation from the extremist Patriotic Alternative.
