Rhoda Grant

The crisis facing our country requires bold thinking and it requires a united Scottish Labour Party, under the leadership of Richard Leonard, fighting for the real change we need. ^[10]

Grant nominated Monica Lennon in the 2021 Scottish Labour leadership election. ^[11]

Grant was one of 5 Labour MSPs who was absent for a Scottish Parliament vote calling for the UK Government to reverse its decision to means-test the Winter Fuel Payment. ^[12]

Personal life

Grant is married and has a sister whom she cat-sits for. ^[13]
