Michael Marra's Radical Plan for Scottish Labour | Belfast News

Michael Marra, the new face in Scottish Labour’s leadership race, is calling for a radical overhaul of the party’s soul — not just its strategy, but its very DNA. He argues that decades of disconnect from Scotland’s changing realities have led to electoral collapse, and that the problems run deeper than leadership or policy. His bold plan? Regional assemblies where ordinary people set the agenda, with the party publicly committing — and reporting — on progress — even when it fails. He’s also pushing for concrete wins: a cross-party commission to slash child poverty by 2030, and a supermarket tax to fund addiction services, using revenue from alcohol pricing. Marra positions himself as the candidate who can unite the party around real, tangible change — social justice, housing, work, and a better deal for Scotland within the UK — all while challenging rival Joe Fagan for the top spot after Anas Sarwar’s departure.
