      Owen: What do you mean by your comment that the vaccine rollout wasn't down to the Government, but the public sector? I'm curious because I always thought the public sector was managed by the Government and its policies. Are you suggesting the NHS is an autonomous body?

    Labour needs to channel Tony Benn in this moment and start making a pitch for achievable ideas that brings Scotland back under the red flag. The first thing that comes to mind is a senate upper house that gives the constituent countries equal representation /voice and supremacy over the commons. Without Scotland, Labour will continue to flail.
