@lorne_sausage @BenProcter This is correct. We’ve checked again, and Jackie Baillie has received three nominations before our article was published. She received the fourth shortly after which gave her the required support to make the ballot.

It’s fitting that the union that has backed me all my working life has delivered the nomination that puts me on the ballot paper for Scottish Labour Deputy Leader. Our Party needs a fresh future and I intend to help deliver just that. #Matt4Deputy

[Neil Findlay @Neilsocialist]

Well done @MattKerrLabour first candidate on the ballot in the Labour Deputy leadership contest in Scotland

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

We need to fix our political system, including replacing the Lords with an elected chamber.

As leader, I would require all new Labour appointees to sign a declaration committing themselves to vote for the Lords’ abolition at every opportunity.
