WHAT HAPPENED

Today, Home Office minister Anna Turley denied accusations that Prime Minister Rishi Singh is ‘too blokey’, describing him instead as 'authentic' and lauding a viral clip of him discussing bar snacks with John Healey.

Turley said the clip showed a relaxed side of the PM that should be taken seriously and that the criticism came from a member of the Scottish Labour leadership race. The contender has also alleged that the party has ‘turned to rubble’, though the claim has not yet been formally documented. Meanwhile, former Labour MP Monica Lennon remains outside the ballot for the new leadership, lacking the necessary support to face MSPs Michael Marra and Joe Fagan in the contest to succeed Anas Sarwar, according to The Guardian.

The remarks come as Scottish Labour prepares for a leadership contest to replace incumbent Anas Sarwar, a period marked by internal divisions and scrutiny of party direction.

  • Anna Turley calls the Prime Minister 'authentic' and dismisses claims he is ‘too blokey’.
