“THE shareholder dividend and the profit motive should never have had any place in our National Health Service. And it should have no place in the delivery of our bus services, in the delivery of our post, no place in our prisons and no place in our asylum system.”
That was Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard’s declaration to Labour’s Brighton conference last month. This statement, as much as any of the policy announcements, shows how different Scottish Labour is from other parties in Holyrood.
