## Resource

Scottish Labour’s leadership race heats up as Anas Sarwar steps down to join the House of Lords, leaving a power vacuum — and Daniel Johnson, the polished Edinburgh MSP with a business background and solid track record, is emerging as a top contender. But Michael Marra and Monica Lennon are also in the mix, with Lennon’s potential return adding intrigue. Meanwhile, Labour’s local battle in Edinburgh intensifies, with the city council up for grabs next year and key by-elections in September offering a preview — as SNP and Greens eye a potential coalition, threatening Labour’s hold on the city’s future.
