Sarwar used an appearance at the Edinburgh Fringe to say economic policy would be 'front and centre' of the Scottish Labour manifesto in 2026.
Anas Sarwar has ruled out Scottish Labour signing a coalition deal with another party in order to take power at Holyrood.
"I don't think devolution was meant to be about one party pretending about having a monopoly on everything - a monopoly in the Parliament, or a monopoly on ideas. The Holyrood electoral system makes it difficult for a single party to win a majority of MSPs. The Nationalists first took power in 2007 after winning just one more seat than Labour, allowing Salmond to become First Minister and leader of a minority administration.
Nicola Sturgeon chose to sign a powersharing deal with the Scottish Greens following the 2021 election in a move that was not universally popular with SNP members. "We have spent the last 17 years in Scotland trying to sell Scotland to the Scots, trying to persuade us Scotland is brilliant," he said. "We all know it's brilliant, we all know it's fantastic.
