'Not an easy inbox' for new Scottish Labour leader (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's an old joke involving someone asking for directions, and the reply comes: "Well, if I were you, I wouldn't start from here." And that's probably the (unhelpful) advice a lot of people would give the next Scottish Labour leader. It's a job that will go to one of two MSPs this weekend - Michael Marra or Joe Fagan. The victor will inherit a party that had a historically bad result in May's Scottish Parliament election. They will lead a group of just 17 MSPs. That makes them the joint second
Food price cap and public sector reform: Five things from the programme for government (opens the original)
Read excerpt
MSPs are back in Holyrood, and what better way to start than with a programme for government? This is John Swinney's opportunity to spell out his big vision for the next five years – what does he want to achieve? And what laws does he need to pass in order to make progress?

Meet the men applying for the 'hardest job in British politics' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Wanted: one leader for Scottish Labour. Must enjoy long hours, complex trade-offs and difficult questions. That may not be the official job description for Scottish Labour leader, but it's perhaps not far from the truth. After all, Anas Sarwar described this gig as "the hardest job in British politics". Despite this health warning, two candidates are on the ballot paper vying to take on the challenge - Michael Marra and Joe Fagan. I sat down with both of them for the Scotcast podcast to learn a
Should Glasgow have an elected mayor? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's a sunny afternoon in Glasgow city centre and a busker is treating us to covers of songs by The Smiths and The Stone Roses. Manchester's music scene – and some of Andy Burnham's favourite bands – have clearly broken through north of the border. But one of his favourite policies - regional mayors - hasn't. The question of whether or not Scottish cities should have mayors has become something of a live debate in recent weeks. Burnham, a former mayor of Greater Manchester and now prime minister
