Neil Findlay will call for “a return to real Labour values” as he launches his formal campaign to be Scottish Labour leader today.

Speaking ahead of a rally in the Miners Welfare club in his home town of Fauldhouse, Findlay told the Morning Star: “The values of community, solidarity, fairness and justice are the values I was taught and had instilled in me by my parents and by the people I met growing up in this great community.”

Findlay said he was “no career politician” but promised to deliver for ordinary people.
