Marra joins Lennon in Scottish Labour leadership race

MICHAEL MARRA officially launched his bid to be the next leader of Scottish Labour today just days after returning colleague Monica Lennon announced she would run. An MSP for the North East region since 2021, Mr Marra was appointed the party’s finance spokesman by then Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar in 2023, and has long been understood to be right-wing deputy leader Jackie Baillie’s choice to replace him.
