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.

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

It's true across the U.K. that those who had least to do with causing the economic crisis are carrying the heaviest burden. That's unacceptable.

My working life has always been wrapped up in doing my job to the best of my abilities and doing the best for my family. It is not a contest between the two.

Maybe I was just born to argue with men.

Schools are not exam factories for the rat race.
