Suspended Labour councillor quits party over race row

The row broke out after Ms Dempsey, who represents the Glasgow ward of Springburn and Robroyston, made a claim that “racist attacks on white children and teachers” had been rising in schools across the city.

Ms Dempsey did not provide statistical evidence for this claim, which was contained in an agenda for a recent meeting of the Labour group.

She previously told BBC Scotland News that she had asked “an honest question”. It was not asked at the meeting.

A spokeswoman for Glasgow City Council said: “We are not aware of any rise in incidents of this kind across the city.”
