  • Richard Leonard has resigned as Scottish Labour leader, saying it is in the best interests of the party for him to stand down.<br />
<br />
Mr Leonard said he believed speculation about his leadership had become a "distraction".<br />
<br />
And he said he would be stepping down with immediate effect.  Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard said: “Scotland needs a Labour government now more than ever before. Our National Health Service and public services are at breaking point under the strain of an out-of-control pandemic. Covid is rampant, claiming lives, and striking down so many of our fellow citizens, who are grievously suffering from this awful virus.  Workers’ incomes are being squeezed like never before, with job losses rife and businesses going bust. Too many employees go to work day-in and day-out, night-in and night-out leaving them vulnerable to the virus.   <br />
 <br />
“Both Governments have mishandled its response to Covid, with devastating consequences not least in our care homes. It is essential now that we have an accelerated vaccine roll out – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – to ensure that the most vulnerable and frontline workers are protected against Covid, and that the general population is given greater protection as quickly as possible after that.   <br />
  <br />
“I have thought long and hard over the Christmas period about what this crisis means, and the approach Scottish Labour takes to help tackle it. I have also considered what the speculation about my leadership does to our ability to get Labour’s message across. This has become a distraction.  <br />
 <br />
“I have come to the conclusion it is in the best interests of the party that I step aside as leader of Scottish Labour with immediate effect. This was not an easy decision, but after three years I feel it is the right one for me and for the Party. <br />
 <br />
“I want to thank all those people who placed their hopes in me, and who worked with me in good times and bad. This experience and the great people I have met will live with

  • Pictured: Burton’s Biscuite factory in Edinburgh will be a lot quieter as staff walk out on the first of three days  planned three 24-hour walkouts. Burtons Biscuits make Wagon Wheels and Jammie Dodger biscuits  along with Cadbury biscuits under a perpetual licence.  A Burton's Biscuits spokesman said it was "shocked" at GMB's request for a 7% pay rise but keen to resume talks.<br />
<br />
More than 400 workers are employed at its Edinburgh factory, which makes around 7.5 million biscuits a day.<br />
<br />
    Marmite says pub shutdown means no larger jars <br />
<br />
GMB members at the plant voted by a majority of 91% for industrial action after management refused to increase a 1.6% annual pay rise offer.<br />
<br />
The union said indefinite work to rule and an overtime ban will start tomorrow from 2pm, followed by strikes on 9, 16 and 23 September.<br />

Image caption The factory also makes Wagon Wheels<br />
<br />
GMB Scotland organiser Benny Rankin said: "Burton's stubborn stance on this year's pay offer is an insult to staff that have worked throughout the lockdown at management's insistence.<br />
 Their refusal to meaningfully engage with a workforce that deserve so much better means we have been left with little choice but to strike for a decent pay offer."<br />

Burton's Biscuits, which is owned by the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan investment company, said the union was being unreasonable.  “Against the backdrop of growing economic uncertainty, the country entering a depression and rising levels of unemployment, we have made what we consider to be a series of very fair and reasonable offers, enabling us to provide job security alongside increased earnings.  Alongside the challenging environment, this action may only serve to jeopardise our employees' ongoing job security."<br />
<br />
He said the firm wanted to find a "mutually acceptable solution" and was willing to resume talks with the union.<br />
<br />
"We also hope that we can return to full production as soon as possible and move forward in a spirit of unity and
