Scottish Labour leadership frontrunner urged to apologise for 'boring' Holyrood manifesto

Nominations have opened for the Scottish Labour leadership contest to replace Anas Sarwar, with candidates given two weeks to secure ballot support. Frontrunner Marra faces pressure to apologise for a boring Holyrood manifesto and his criticisms of public sector size, affecting trade union relations. Meanwhile, concerns persist that the party will become ungovernable following the race, as the winner must manage a Scottish Labour organisation that is now more factional than before the contest began.
