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

I didn't come into politics to change the Labour Party. I came into politics to change the country.

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.

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