My Scottish Labour Party is a crusade - to fight poverty, inequality and injustice.

The Labour Party in 2011 was in an exceptionally bad place. We'd been hammered in an election. We didn't see the scale of it coming.

A Labour party is not a debating club, it is a party of action.

Abortion is an issue of conscience for the Labour party.

Thus in such a Labour Party there can be no question of independent policy.

What people should understand is that I adore the Labour party.
