Lennon Out, Marra vs Fagan | Belfast News

Scottish Labour’s leadership race is heating up as Michael Marra and Joe Fagan battle it out to replace Anas Sarwar, while Monica Lennon—vocal critic of the party’s direction—is left out after falling short of the required MP support. Lennon accuses the party of being “stuck in the past,” calling the contest a behind-the-scenes scramble rather than a broad debate for modern working-class voters. First Minister John Swinney slammed her exclusion as a “stitch-up,” hinting at internal desperation. With Marra backed by 24 MPs and 7 MSPs, and Fagan by 7 MPs and 5 MSPs, the stage is set for a high-stakes showdown—with Lennon watching from the sidelines, demanding accountability and change.
