In his regular column for the Daily Record, the Scottish Labour leader said his party was ready to deliver change across the country followng last week's by-election victory.
The people in Rutherglen and Hamilton West will go down in history as catalyst for a chain reaction that will change Scottish politics forever.
No, Thursday's by-election will be remembered as a moment when one part of Scotland sent a message for people across the country. And it's that failure to stand up for Scotland that means that no SNP MP can take their community for granted anymore.Across this country people want an end to incompetence, chaos and division.We’ve had a lost decade under the SNP and the Tories, which has held Scotland back.
We will deliver for working people across Scotland, raise the minimum wage, and end the scourge of in-work poverty by once again making work pay. We see it in chaos in our NHS, the decline in our schools and recently we have been seeing it in the crisis in our justice system.
