I want to build local wealth and local power and renew Labour as a force for change within the Scottish Parliament and without.

Let me be plain about myself. I am in this for Scotland and nowhere else. I am not building the kind of career that ends in ermine. You will never see my name on a list for the House of Lords. I want to serve the country I am from.

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

I think the generation that I want to lead in Scottish Labour is the generation that wants to win – a generation that can make Labour win again.
