Joe Fagan: “I want to carry myself as leader of the Scottish Labour Party.”

I don't think it's the priority for voters right now – but I also just think that if, not when, if the issue of independence and another referendum were to re-emerge and it was obvious there was a demand for it, we wouldn’t be debating…

The debates around the process for independence is a relic of the Sturgeon era.

Power should sit as close as possible to the people it affects. That means a stronger Scotland in a changing UK.

We weren't at that point.
