If the bookies are right, and as we all know they usually are in a  two-horse race, the Scottish Labour Party is about to choose a leader who is not a member of the Scottish Parliament.

We are being told also that Gordon Brown, who styled himself as the saviour of the Union towards the end of the referendum campaign, doesn’t want the job. Both offer clear evidence of Labour’s ambivalence towards Holyrood and its lack of commitment to the notorious ‘Vow’, to which its UK leader was a signatory.
