Richard Leonard

RICHARD Leonard laid out his ambitious plans to deliver a “true change in the balance of power” in Scotland today.

At the Morning Star’s “Shifting the Balance Between Labour and Capital” event in Glasgow, the Scottish Labour leader discussed his party’s plans to roll back the privatisation of public services and to implement the public ownership of railways and buses.

Mr Leonard also discussed Scottish Labour’s proposed Common Ownership Act, that could allow an organised workforce to take over and control their workplaces if they get shut down.
