Raison d'etre

Three weeks ago, both the Scottish Labour Party and Scotland's status as part of the the United Kingdom took what might fairly be described as a kick in the pants. Without rehearsing the reasons for that here and now, it is clear to my mind that those of us who value both Scottish Labour and the Union require to give them a fairly substantial rethink if they-and we-are to meet the political challenges of the next few years.

Given that I have a few months free before starting something new professionally, I'll doubtless be ruminating on both anyway, and I find that the most productive way of thinking something through is by writing about it. And there seems little point in writing without an audience. So, this blog is both an outlet for those written outpourings, and an attempt to contribute in some way to the endeavours now required.
