LABOUR grandee Douglas Alexander – who served in both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown’s Cabinets – has put his name forward to run in the next Westminster election, reports say.
Alexander, a former Scottish secretary, is said to have applied to stand for Labour in either East or Midlothian in the next General Election.
He previously held the Paisley and Renfrewshire South seat (formerly Paisley South) from 1997 to 2015 before a humiliating defeat at the hands of the SNP’s Mhairi Black.
