THE author of Labour’s 2017 General Election manifesto has accused the party’s Scottish branch of attempting to “sabotage” the campaign.

Andrew Fisher, who was Labour’s executive director of policy under Jeremy Corbyn, claimed an internal probe had found that the manifesto was leaked to the right-wing press before it was officially published.
