Monica Lennon has signalled she is willing to pursue the leadership of Scottish Labour as her party prepares for a possible change at the top. Speaking to the Sunday Mail, Lennon said the party faces “oblivion” unless it delivers “radical and fast change,” and indicated she will put herself forward for the role.

Overall, the articles agree that Lennon is publicly positioning herself around the leadership vacancy and tying her potential bid to a call for rapid political change within Scottish Labour.
