We shall seek debate without division or rancour.

The Scottish Labour Party, while I have breath in my body, will listen to the views of trade unionists.

My biggest ambition is to bring together what happens in the real world with what politicians talk about.

Scotland cannot be the only 'something for nothing' country in the world.

While I'm leader, nothing will be off limits - there will not be one policy, one rule, one way of working which cannot be changed.

Progressive politics is not something to be bolted on to another cause.

The test is can you do something, rather than have a theoretical argument - can you make a difference?
