Part 1

After a difficult few months for Labour and a really bad result in Glasgow East, Iain knows that the time is right for a new voice and a fresh start.

Iain Gray's support for Leader comes from the length and breadth of Scotland, but perhaps the person best equipped to tell you why Iain should be your choice to get the Labour Party back on its feet - taking the fight to the SNP - is Margaret Curran, who has officially endorsed Iain's candidacy.

Part 2

In part 2 of Margaret's interview in support of Iain Gray's leadership bid, Margaret Curran outlines in more detail the reasons behind her support for Iain. Standing for Glasgow East has given Margaret a unique understanding of what Scottish Labour needs to do to rebuild support across the country.
