Anas Sarwar Plans Lords Peerage After Scottish Defeat
Anas Sarwar, leader of Scottish Labour, is stepping down to take a seat in the House of Lords as a minister in Andy Burnham’s government, a move that follows his February call for Sir Keir Starmer to resign and Labour’s poor Scottish showing. The plan drew criticism from the SNP and others who argued it’s an undemocratic fast track, while supporters say Burnham’s leadership offers a new path for the party.
