Problems with Scottish Labour are “systemic”, leadership candidate Michael Marra has said. Mr Marra is taking on fellow MSP, and former South Lanarkshire Council leader, Joe Fagan, to replace Anas Sarwar after he was sent to the House of Lords and made a UK minister. Speaking at a press conference in Glasgow on Monday, the North East region MSP said his party had not changed with the country since devolution, which has resulted in six successive downturns in electoral fortunes at Holyrood.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Working as a student at the University newspaper.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No, but they do interest me. Something old school like that would always be fun to use.

How is social media changing news?

It allows people to contact and interact with journalists. That means we are being held to account and that we have many more sources.
