Anas Sarwar has been elected the new leader of Scottish Labour less than three months before the next, potentially pivotal, Scottish parliament elections.
In this episode of the New Statesman Podcast, Stephen Bush, Anoosh Chakelian and Ailbhe Rea discuss Sarwar’s election victory, and whether he can turn things around for the party after Richard Leonard’s disappointing tenure.
Then, in You Ask Us, they answer your question about whether potential future shadow chancellors are manoeuvring against Anneliese Dodds.
