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

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

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

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

I've got a very deep and abiding passion about education being far more than buildings and textbooks; it's what children bring into school with them.

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.

Maybe I was just born to argue with men.
