Lesley Laird Biography

Lesley Laird is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on November 15, 1958 in Greenock, United Kingdom. Laird had the support of Unison, Citizens Advice Rights Fife and Women Against State Pension Inequality campaigners (WASPI). She also hosted a series of public campaigns events aimed at 50s-born women affected by age-related eligibility changes.

Laird requested selection to the Scottish Labour regional list for Mid Scotland and Fife in the 2016 Scottish Parliament elections.

In May 2018, Laird faced criticism for neglecting her duties as a councillor, having only attended two meetings after her election as an MP. Critics argued she should have resigned as a councillor when becoming a Member of Parliament. Her party’s rules later stated members should only hold one elected position, a policy Laird appeared to have breached, according to the National newspaper. However, Laird actually resigned the post of her own volition.

Laird resigned as deputy leader of the Scottish Labour in December 2019 after losing her seat to the Independent (formerly SNP) candidate Neale Hanvey. Following her resignation, she criticised unsupportive members of her party for undermining the leaderships of Jeremy Corbyn and Richard Leonard.

Laird has been a councillor since 2012. She was the former deputy leader at Fife Council. There, she held the portfolio of administration for economy and planning.
