Shortly before becoming Leader of the Scottish Labour Party back in 2015, I smartened up my act, literally with a wardrobe refresh. When I walked into work the next week in a new dress and jacket a male, very close colleague remarked that he didn’t know I had legs.
The uncomfortable truth is that time and time again the UK Parliament finds itself responding faster and more progressively to the once famed family-friendly Scottish Parliament. Pictures of babies in the voting lobby and the first proxy votes cast for women on maternity leave happened in the Palace of Westminster, not Holyrood.
After heading to the polls three times in the past 18 months no one could blame Scots for suffering from election fatigue.
