Lennon is struggling to reach that threshold, with two MSPs and two MPs nominating her, but has also secured the support of Unison Labour link. Joani Reid, who was readmitted to the Labour Party earlier this month after suspending herself pending an investigation, has come out in support of Fagan, also in the Daily Record.
