‘We haven’t been good enough’: Anas Sarwar pledges to rebuild Scottish Labour as leader

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “‘We haven’t been good enough’: Anas Sarwar pledges to rebuild Scottish Labour as leader” – below is their description.

Anas Sarwar said becoming Scottish Labour leader was the greatest honour of his life, and pledged to rebuild the party. ‘I know Labour has a lot of work to do to win back your trust,’ Sarwar said. ‘I’m sorry we haven’t been good enough.’

Sarwar, 37, faces a battle to save Labour from what polls suggest could be another humiliating Holyrood election in May. After losing every Scottish and UK election since 2007 to the SNP, including losing all its MEPs in the 2016 European elections, Labour has since gone through seven Scottish leaders. Sarwar will be its eighth
