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

Telling the truth, and confronting the challenge, is what politics is about.

We must listen and learn, show humility and seek again to talk for and to people's ambitions and concerns.

I love hard political debate and I love beating somebody on a political point but what I'm more frustrated by is the politics where you play the man not the politics.

I'm pretty proud of having completed a marathon myself, so I can only imagine the pride that real athletes feel when they are picked for the Olympic or the Paralympic Games.

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

We do students a great disservice by implying that one set of students is more important than another.
