the word is "authentic", because the criticism is that scottish labour, with its policy platforms on in speeches or writing about her in articles for the sunday telegraph and so on, is authentic labour and that sir keir starmer�*s labour isn't. well, look, i believe keir starmer is authentic. i believe his labour party is authentic and i think he is giving us authentic leadership and i think we have an authentic scottish labour party, as well. and that's why i think we have done a greatjob in getting the labour party away from a discussion about whether it survives in scotland to now actually talking about making significant gains and leading the way and delivering a uk labour government and maximising scotland's influence at the heart of a labour government, making decisions to benefit people here in scotland. are labour going to win the general election? look, i hope so, but i'm not taking anything for granted. the polls, of course, many people point to the polls as a positive indication of that general election and labour being able to win. but there's many, many an example of — no

so a fantastic night and really put a spring in the step and many people at the scottish labour party . .,, . labour party conference where i am toda. . . ., ., today. what does labour have to do today. what does labour have to do to build on that _ today. what does labour have to do to build on that success? _ today. what does labour have to do to build on that success? as - to build on that success? as previous _ to build on that success? is previous correspondence to build on that success? ss previous correspondence have to build on that success? sis previous correspondence have said, to build on that success? is previous correspondence have said, a by—election is not the same as a general election. the campaign will get a lot harder, the kind of attacks labour will face from the media, from the right will be really intense. so i think they need to double down on doing what they are doing, showing the electric they are serious about government, about winning, the economy but also starting to put up more of a positive vision around things that voters care about, the cost of living,

your colleague, l the scottish labour leader, said the motion looks perfectly reasonable and scottish immediate ceasefire. why can't you was blue i am saying that i fully understand what the scottish colleagues are fighting to stop now. we have been saying that for weeks so we _ we have been saying that for weeks so we agree with them. we want the fighting _ so we agree with them. we want the fighting to _ so we agree with them. we want the fighting to stop now. i am not sure that what _ fighting to stop now. i am not sure that what is— fighting to stop now. i am not sure that what is flying around on twitter— that what is flying around on twitter says anything about it being sustainable. you can have a ceasefire _ sustainable. you can have a ceasefire that lasts for a few days. we want _ ceasefire that lasts for a few days. we want the ceasefire to last and be permanent _ we want the ceasefire to last and be permanent and to move towards the diplomatic— permanent and to move towards the diplomatic solution. it will only be a political— diplomatic solution. it will only be a political

dynamic in how it's being handled in westminster and the sort of intrigue and the division between scottish labourly the bigger context of this — most of our mainstream politicians are kind of on the same page on this stuff, so it doesn't tend to be, as henry was suggesting, a big rallying flag for a majority of voters. it's not to say it doesn't matter. and there are pockets where it's incredibly important. but in most places, it's not the kind of thing that influences an electoral contest right now. ok, so there we are — the by elections that were, with one more coming on the 29th of february. laura, we were both, i think, moved to be with marina litvinenko on the newscast on saturday. i mean, you've. .. i thought you were visibly moved. i know what i felt. yeah, without question. i mean, she speaks so powerfully about the terrible thing that happened to her, her husband killed at the hands of putin's henchmen. are you all right? how are you? i'm fine. and i said, because whatl happened to my husband, it was in uk, it was not easy process l to getjustice, but i knew i will have a proper investig

they think scottish labour saying that they sup perfectly reasonable.’ think scottish labour saying thatnk it's perfectly reasonable. so actually labour is split on a ceasefire >> we're completely united about seeing an end to the fighting. >> but you're not united on a ceasefire, are you ? ceasefire, are you? >> well, we all want to get to a ceasefire. what we are saying. will you vote for one then? as . will you vote for one then? as. well? look, we will need to look at the wording of the motion thatis at the wording of the motion that is actually laid before parliament by nick thomas—symonds. >> we need to leave it there. but you very much indeed but thank you very much indeed for joining me this morning. forjoining me this morning. now, a muscle because now, don't move a muscle because in andrew in just a minute, sir andrew wood and i'll be wood will join me and i'll be grilling michael tomlinson, the minister state for minister minister of state for illegal which i know illegal migration, which i know is you to is important to you. you want to hear the answers to my questions to tha

first, that scotland's influence in britain will be strongest if you have a scottish labour party workingbour government. applause. and that includes a new generation of brilliant scottish labour mps empower at westminster, but also no matter what the snp say, the tories can win the next election. of course, they can. politics is volatile, it is ridiculous to say otherwise. so i would also say this, imagine even if only for a second, what it will feel like if you wake up what it will feel like if you wake up on the day after the election and the tories are back, encouraged again, emboldened again, entitled again, emboldened again, entitled again, because respectfully, i do not think that would be in scotland's national interest. applause. and the easiest way to stop it? the only way to be sure of stopping it is to choose labour to fight for scotland in westminster. applause. furthermore, i would also say this... that while i know there will always be a debate about scotland's constitutional future, if, always be a debate about scotland's constitutionalfuture, if, right constitutional futu

rebellion by dozens of labour mps and other shadow frontbenchers, and with the knowledge that the scottish labourference at the weekend voted for an immediate ceasefire, keir starmer has shifted his position. a labour amendment now supports an "immediate humanitarian ceasefire", but tonight, the government too has prepared its own amendment, calling for "an urgent humanitarian pause." nick's here. nick, what is likely to happen tomorrow? kirsty, late this afternoon, you could see the mood change, and it changed for the worse on the labour side. around lunchtime, there was a very happy mood, because we saw that labour amendment, which as you said, talked of an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. the view was that every single labour mp will be able to vote for that. at around az30pm or 5pm, the mood changed for the worst as senior labourfigures 5pm, the mood changed for the worst as senior labour figures realise that if the speaker so lindsay hoyle follows president, it is highly likely that he would not call the labour amendment, and the reason for thatis labour amendment, and the reason for that i

turning to the middle east, the scottish labour party is supporting an immediate ceasefire. hostages that continue to be held and we have thousands upon thousands of civilians who have been killed, including a very high percentage of children. nobody can stand in the face of that evidence and believe that we don't need to take action. we do need to get to a ceasefire, we all want a ceasefire. the question is, how do we get there? the fighting has to stop. any assault on rafah must be repelled. we must not allow that to go ahead. have you made that clear to the israeli government? we have been clear in our communications with all of our partners about this, but that needs to create the space for hostages to be released, for desperately needed humanitarian aid to get in, in a much greater volume than it is at the moment. but equally important, if not more important, to use that stopping of the fighting to create the space for the political dialogue that is the only way out of this in the long run towards a two—state solution, making and continuing to make the case for a secure
