Schools are not exam factories for the rat race.
From Johann Lamont
My Scottish Labour Party is a crusade - to fight poverty, inequality and injustice.
There is a danger of Scottish politics being between two sets of dinosaurs... the Nationalists who can't accept they were rejected by the people, and some colleagues at Westminster who think nothing has changed.
I got a very strong sense from my mother, in particular, that we are all equal in the sight of God.
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.
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.
We will renew our party, to rebuild our land - and we will do it by being a better Labour, real Labour, Scottish Labour.
There is a circus around politics. But if you think it is a game, then you forget what the purpose of politics actually is.
We shall seek debate without division or rancour.
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.
