Iain Gray becomes new scot labour leader

On a very dull and dreach Saturday (no change there then), there was something unusal happening - the results of the contest to be Scottish Labour Leader! It was, as expected, a rather boring & lifeless contest, always failing to grab the attention of the people. And their hustings were much quiter than ever before! In the end, however the party chose to go with Iain Gray. The man who currently stands on just 3% in the opinion polls (to be best First Minister)! In his victory speech he attempted to make a comparison between his own background and that of Alex Salmond's. This has already proved to be too much of a gamble, as it has been revealed that while he had no trouble of mentioning his time of being a teacher & working for Oxfam, he failed to also mention his time at Inverness Academy and an elitist club in Edinburgh! Not a great start, I think! And, as if that wasn't enough, it's also been another bad day for Gordon Brown after 7 Labour MP's called for a leadership contest! It's a bit ironic, as the Scottish party finishes its leadership contest, there could be about to be one at Westminster - which would without a dought trigger a general election - one which the SNP could expect to do very well in!!

I look forward to watching this weeks FMQ's
