Hard-right Murphy lands Scots Labour leadership landslide
Left challenger Neil Findlay ‘will have place at table’
New Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy yesterday sought to unite the party with a pledge that his challengers Neil Findlay and Sarah Boyack would have places in a reshuffled shadow cabinet at Holyrood.
The Blairite MP won the ballot for Labour’s Scottish leader with 55 per cent of the electoral college saying he wanted to “rediscover the Team Labour approach.”
Mr Murphy said he would run Scottish Labour from Scotland and pledged: “I will be in the Scottish Parliament in 2016 and Labour candidate for First Minister by 2016.”
