Murphy fails to convince over plans to end party’s woes
JIM MURPHY vowed yesterday to end Scottish Labour’s “terrible habit” of losing elections if he was elected leader, but a new poll showed he would lose his own Westminster seat.

And the predicted election wipeout in Scotland would see Labour lose Mr Murphy’s East Renfrewshire along with dozens more to the SNP.
