An update to our earlier post yesterday regarding the suspension of former Glasgow City Council leader, Stephen Purcell. After Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy stated that he had been suspended from the Labour Party on The Politics Show on Sunday.
A Labour spokesman when questioned by Debate is Free insisted that Jim Murphy had made a mistake during the interview and that Murphy had thought that he was being questioned on shamed Labour PPC Stuart McLennan who was suspended from the party after a number of inapproriate comments on Twitter. It was this confusion that caused Jim Murphy to wrongly state that Stephen Purcell had been suspended from Labour.
When questioned regarding the possiblity of Purcell being suspended after the prospect of two seperate police investigations into the former council leader and activities at Glasgow City Council the Labour spokesman said that the Labour Party's stance on Purcell was quite clear and there was no need to comment further.

This is becoming typical of Labour and typical of a large command and control stucture!
