A senior official in the Labour Party has apologised after making an apparently anti-Catholic comment at the party’s conference in Liverpool.
Andy Kerr, chairman of the National Executive Committee for Scottish Labour, said that he “might not” call a female delegate to speak after seeing her making the sign of the cross.
He was speaking on the main stage at the party’s conference when he invited questions from the audience. When the delegate put up her hand, Kerr said: “Did you cross yourself there? In that case, I might not.”
