Man who made complaint against former Edinburgh Council leader Cammy Day speaks out
A man who complained about former Edinburgh council leader Cammy Day has slammed the Labour party, after he was allowed to rejoin.
The man claimed that he was being sexually harassed in 2022. The Labour party allegedly told him his complaint would have to go through a formal process to progress, which he declined, reports the Daily Record.
Now the man, who is being kept anonymous, had criticised the decision to allow Day back into the party. This comes after it was alleged that he bombarded Ukrainian refugees with inappropriate messages.
The man said: 'If a senior leader in the Labour Party can act in a sexually inappropriate manner with impunity, what message does that send to victims of sexual harassment?

"Scottish Labour have given the green light to misconduct by re-admitting Cammy Day and have sent an unequivocal message to victims about whose side they are really on.
'I believe this will significantly undermine the whole system and processes that are meant to protect victims of sexual harassment; and decrease the likelihood of victims coming forward in future. Shame on them.'

Kendall: ‘It's been a bumpy old few months' as UK youth unemployment rises
By Jamie Roberton The government has endured 'a bumpy old few months', the work and pensions secretary has admitted, as she reiterated calls for significant welfare reform. Liz Kendall said 'too many people are being written off' and that she did 'not contemplate failure' in her efforts to deliver 'root and branch reform'. Ms Kendall was speaking as she unveiled a £45 million package in a bid to reduce youth unemploymen t. New figures released on Thursday revealed that 948,000 young people are not in education, employment or training – an increase of 24,000 on previous data. In an exclusive interview with Channel 4 News, Ms Kendall said the current trend of young people missing from work or education – now 12.8% of all aged 16 to 24 – was 'not acceptable' and 'terrible for the country'. Asked if the scale of the reform necessary could be achieved, Ms Kendall said: 'I have got to. Not for me or the government but for the young people who are desperate for a chance. 'I do not contemplate failure. Life is a marathon and a sprint and I am determined to carry on for the long-term.' The Department for Work and Pensions said the figures represented 'a national crisis', blaming 'a perfect storm' of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic as well as the lack of mental health and skills support. The proportion of young people not in education, employment or training – known as NEETs – who cited sickness as an obstacle has increased from one in 10 in 2021, to one in four in 2023. The interview with Ms Kendall was conducted before the release of the figures and the significant Epping asylum hotel ruling. Pressed on whether she had considered resigning given the scale of the recent government U-turn on benefits cuts that she had pushed, Ms Kendall said: 'It has been a bumpy old few months. Welfare reform is always really hard, perhaps especially with the Labour Party. 'Let me just say this: as more of us are living for longer, more of us have disabilities, more of us have long-term health conditions, we have got to change the system, because too many people are being written off and that can't last, because many people actually are desperate for a chance to work. 'We need to change the system to help more people when they can work and protect those who can't'.

Diane Abbott: I told ex-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn not to launch his new party

Ms Abbott, the independent MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington, said she understood why her close ally had made the move. But she insisted it was "difficult to see how a new party wins" under the first-past-the-post electoral system. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Mr Corbyn launched the new venture last month with former Labour MP Zarah Sultana. It does not yet have a name, but is marketed as 'Your Party'. He has vowed it will 'take on the rich and powerful'. Diane Abbott at the Edinburgh International Book Festival | PA Ms Abbot, who was the shadow home secretary under Mr Corbyn, was asked about the move while appearing at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on Thursday to discuss her memoir, A Woman Like Me. She said there was a "tricky state of play", adding: "I wouldn't have thought that you would have a Labour government and they'd be cutting winter fuel allowance for the elderly, they'd be cutting benefits for the disabled." However, she added: "I told him [Mr Corbyn] not to. It's very difficult under the first-past-the-post system for a new party to absolutely win. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad "If it wasn't first past the post, then you could see how a new party could come through. But I understand why he did it. "I understand why Zarah did it. Zarah is a lovely person, full of energy, and I think she and Jeremy are a great combination. But at this point in time, it's difficult to see how a brand new party wins. "However, I think Jeremy's party is going to do a lot better than people think, because a lot of people - not necessarily terribly left-wing people - are a tiny bit disappointed about the way we've gone in the party."

She defended a letter she had written to a newspaper in 2023 in which she compared the racism experienced by people of colour with that seen by other groups. Former shadow chancellor John McDonnell, another key ally of Mr Corbyn, has also ruled out joining his new party. "Just to be absolutely clear, I am a Labour Party member,' he said last month. 'I have had the whip suspended, that's all, and I expect it back." Earlier this month, Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the public would reject Mr Corbyn's party like they rejected him twice before.

'The country has rejected him twice," Ms Reeves said. "The bloke's got a big ego. He can have another go, but I think the country will have the same verdict.' Ms Abbott also told the book festival event the decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group was a 'disgrace' and 'absolutely dreadful'. She was elected to Parliament in 1987, and was the only black female MP in the Commons for a decade until Labour's landslide under Tony Blair. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad

Diane Abbott advised Jeremy Corbyn against founding new party, event told
Diane Abbott advised Jeremy Corbyn against setting up a new political party, she said, over concerns it would struggle to get a foothold in Britain because of the voting system. Ms Abbott, who served as Mr Corbyn's shadow home secretary when he was Labour leader, said she had spoken to him before its launch, and said it was not a good idea. Advertisement Speaking at an event at the Edinburgh Book Festival, the current longest-serving female MP said: 'There were people around Jeremy encouraging him to set up a new party, and I told him not to. 'It's very difficult under first-past-the-post system for a new party to absolutely win. If it wasn't first-past-the-post, then you can see how a new party could come through, but I understand why he did it.' Ms Abbott said she thought the party, formed by her long-time friend Independent MP Mr Corbyn (Islington North) alongside Independent MP Zarah Sultana (Coventry South), would outperform people's expectations. It was launched last month, but is still without a formal name. She said she believed it would take advantage of a broader discontent with politics in Britain.

'However, I think Jeremy's party is going to do a lot better than people think because a lot of people who are not necessarily terribly left-wing people, are a tiny bit disappointed about the way we've gone in the past year.' The MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington indicated her disappointment with the Labour Government. She had the whip withdrawn for the second time in two years in July, after she expressed a lack of regret about comments to the Observer in 2023 that suggested that Jewish, Irish and Traveller people experience prejudice, but not racism. Advertisement However, she implied she would not join Mr Corbyn's party. Ms Abbott said: 'It's a tricky state of play. I wouldn't have thought that you'd have a Labour Government and they'd be cutting winter fuel allowance for the elderly and benefits for the disabled.' She was also critical of the Government's proscription of Palestine Action and labelled the decision 'a complete disgrace'.

'I mean, we all saw the pictures of the people in Trafalgar Square – 500 people? Half of them over 60. Come on, these are terrorists? I think this is an attempt to bear down on (protest).' Advertisement She added her more than 40 years in Labour meant it was too late to leave it. She was elected to Parliament in 1987, and was the only black female MP in the Commons for a decade until Labour's landslide under Tony Blair. In response to a question about whether she thought she would ever be accepted 'at the heart' of the Labour Party, she replied: 'I think I am at the heart of the Labour Party, it's other people who aren't.' Ms Abbott, whose book A Woman Like Me, was the subject of the interview in the Scottish capital by campaigner Talat Yaqoob, also told the audience of her anger at not being called by Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle in the aftermath of racist comments by Conservative Party donor Frank Hester in 2024. She said she had stood during a Prime Minister's Question session more than 40 times to be called to speak, after Sir Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak and Sir Ed Davey had all spoken about the incident. Advertisement Mr Hester was reported to have said Ms Abbott made him want to 'hate all black women' and that she 'should be shot'. The remarks brought widespread condemnation, including from Sir Keir, but she told the event her office was used to receiving racist abuse. 'I've been an MP for 38 years, and custom practice in the chamber is if you're being talked about, you get called. It's just a courtesy. I was so shocked that I wasn't called. 'But I heard later from someone who had reason to know, that what happened was that Rishi didn't want me called, because (Hester) was a Tory donor and it would look bad for them, and I'm afraid Keir Starmer didn't want me called because he wanted to milk the issue (for) political advantage, without mentioning me.' She said Sir Keir had approached her after the questions session and asked what he could do to help. 'I said, 'Yes, you can restore the whip'. And as if he hadn't heard, he said, 'Is there anything I can do for you?' It was like he was deaf. And I said, 'Yes, you can restore the whip', and he realised I wasn't going to play that game and he went off.'
