If you want to understand where Scottish Labour is heading following the resignation of Kezia Dugdale, have a look at Anas Sarwar’s Facebook page. A video posted last weekend shows Sarwar, a 34-year-old Glasgow MSP and former deputy leader of the party, introducing Jeremy Corbyn at a rally in Glasgow.
“Jeremy is a different kind of politician and a different kind of leader,” enthuses Sarwar. “Where other leaders seek to divide, Jeremy seeks to unite. Where other leaders create fear of difference, Jeremy celebrates difference. Where others promote hate, he talks of love. Where others talk of war, he talks of delivering peace. Where others perpetuate poverty, he wants to deliver prosperity. Where others give injustice, he wants to deliver justice. Where others talk about the status quo, he wants to deliver real, meaningful change for the men, women and children of this great country.”
