Mrs Fellows said: “The Tories have shown nothing but disrespect for the wishes of the people of Scotland by ignoring our decisive will on the EU. They have made attack after attack on working people while making the rich richer.

“While Labour are in turmoil, the Tories are seizing the opportunity to call an election to take the country further to the right. The Tories are putting their interests before that of the country.”

Meanwhile, Mrs Fellows is holding a Meet Your MP event at the GLO Centre in Motherwell on Sunday from 7-8pm.
