A GLASGOW Labour candidate has spoken out after party bosses dropped her for comments made in support of a second independence referendum.

Hollie Cameron, who was the Scottish Labour hopeful for the Glasgow Kelvin constituency has been dropped by the party after comments she made over the weekend in our sister paper, The National. 

Ms Cameron, 29, has spoken out against the decision. 

In a statement she said she is "disappointed" that the party's governing Scottish Executive Committee's decision to withdraw support for her candidacy.

Ms Cameron claims that she has been clear in her views on a second referendum for a number of years which the party knew about when she was selected earlier this month.

Ms Cameron added: "As of 12pm today (Tues) I have not recieved any confirmation in writing, given this I am hopeful that the Labour Party will reconsider. 

I have been very touched by the support I have recieved from my local party and party members. My position on another referndum has been clear for years and was clear throughout the selection process. I was selected by a large margin either because, or in spite my view. 

I am a dedicated campaigner who is loyal to the Labour Party and my home. Following the leadership election, Anas Sarwar stated that Scotland hadn't had the Labour Party it deserves; I did and continue to believe I am the Labour candidate Glasgow Kelvin deserves."

Ms Cameron was selected to be the candidate just over a week ago.

Scottish Labour has been approached for comment.
