Wilma Brown was until today Labour's Parliamentary candidate in Cowdenbeath & Kirkcaldy.

She's now been suspended for racist tweets.

But Labour's Leadership claim to have a 'robust due diligence' system in place to ensure 'high quality candidates'.

So what went wrong? A🧵

Worth remembering that last year Scottish Labour blocked Matt Kerr from standing in Glasgow South West, where he missed out being elected by 60 votes in 2017, because he wasn’t a “high quality candidate” — a threshold Wilma Brown apparently met.

Palestinians in Gaza are celebrating the first day of Eid outside flattened mosques and among the rubble of their homes.

As Eid al-Fitr begins, we must rediscover something very simple: we are all human beings on one planet — and we all deserve to live in peace.

A nasty condescending way to speak about voters who support the NHS.

Framing supporters of the NHS and people calling for a bolder position from Labour as ‘middle-class’ or against bringing down waiting lists, is so obviously far from the reality, it’s laughable.

It was clear long ago the UK Government should have suspended arms sales to #Israel . The needless death of a number of British nationals who were there to help those living in abject horror further accentuates that fact.

The killing must stop #Gaza .

The SNP-Green government was warned and warned and warned about this.

They ignored all rational advice and ploughed on.

The results could be calamitous for tens of thousands of struggling tenants.

Absolutely shameful.
