Description

Controversial Labour MP, Ron Brown has hit back at a party decision which could result in his being sacked as an MP. Labour’s ruling executive decided that Brown’s Edinburgh Leith constituency should be given another chance to deselect him. Brown tells Kevin Murphy that if he has to undergo re-selection because of his affair with a woman, then the same should apply to six out of ten other Labour MPs. Brown also believes his outspoken ways may have led to criticism.
