GMB Scotland’s secretary Louise Gilmour criticises Labour politician Anas Sarwar after he resigns from his role, saying his reputation is “in bits.” In interviews reported by outlets including the Evening Standard and the Daily Record (Scotland), Gilmour describes Sarwar’s decision as “thoughtless” and “self-serving.” The criticism focuses on the timing and circumstances of the resignation. Gilmour argues that Sarwar steps down before a review is completed into Labour’s defeat in the party’s Holyrood election campaign. The union figure also characterises the move as “cut and run to London,” describing it as an abrupt departure rather than a process she says should have been followed internally. Both reports present Gilmour’s comments as a direct reaction to Sarwar’s resignation and emphasise her view that he leaves without first addressing the party’s electoral performance through the review she expects. The reports do not provide additional evidence or counter-arguments from Sarwar or Labour officials within the cited material.
