to sort out some sort of arrangement so that the snp helps the labour party get into government, it would be mad not to, wouldn't it? let me be clear. no ifs, no buts, no deal with the snp. the snp has built their identity on trying to destroy the labour party in scotland rather than wanting to work in partnership with the labour party. everything is different after an election and not before it. i can be really robust with you now about what will happen afterwards as well. we will go flat out to win a labour majority, and we do that by winning significant seats in scotland. the question is what happens if and when you don't. i can give you the guarantee it will not happen. we'll have you back. it might not be a coalition, all sorts of options, of course. one of the reasons i think you would acknowledge that you and the labour party in scotland are doing so well now is not because of what you have done but everything to do with the crisis that is hitting the snp
