A leader who has what it takes

A difficult weekend for lots of reasons but some good news too, not least of which was the election of Iain Gray as leader of Scottish labour. Whatever might be suggested or interpreted from the comments of some Westminster MPs, anyone who wins 58% of the vote from an electorate of 200,000 and two of the three categories within that electoral college has a mandate to be leader in my book. Iain has the toughness, the tenacity and the insight to do the job we need done and I for one will be with him all the way.
