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

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

Scotland is my country, the nation that shaped me, that taught me my values. A nation whose achievements inspired and inspire me, a community whose failings drive me - drive my overwhelming desire to fight for social justice and equality.

The government don't want to talk about the consequences of the choices they make. They pretend there aren't any consequences.

If I have learned one thing in life, it is never to take any man's own estimate of himself. He could very well be mistaken.

Schools are not exam factories for the rat race.

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