The job of the Scottish Labour Party is to represent working people and represent Scotland.

We must listen and learn, show humility and seek again to talk for and to people's ambitions and concerns.

My biggest ambition is to bring together what happens in the real world with what politicians talk about.

The Labour Party in 2011 was in an exceptionally bad place. We'd been hammered in an election. We didn't see the scale of it coming.

There's been an open attack by the U.S. government, an immoral attack, to try and prevent Venezuela from being freely elected to a post in the Security Council. The imperium is afraid of truth, is afraid of independent voices. It calls us extremists, but they are the extremists.

I wish that there were more games having the courage to talk about more subversive topics. Talking about politics, sexuality, human relationships.

In a democratic country like India, eulogising Rahul Gandhi with the title of Yuvraj is an insult to democracy.

In terms of what I wanted to do before I got into politics, I was a businessman. I ran a company that makes and sells infrared night vision military technology and solar technology, so I wanted to grow that company and pursue groundbreaking technology in each of those areas.
