Scottish Labour is beginning the search for its latest leader following the sudden resignation of Richard Leonard.
Mr Leonard, who held the position since November 2017, announced on Thursday he was stepping down with immediate effect.
His departure leaves the party hunting for its fifth leader in the last seven years.
A Procedures Committee, to oversee the election of Mr Leonard’s successor, has been formed and will have its first meeting on Friday.
Meanwhile, Labour’s Scottish Executive Committee (SEC) will also meet in the coming days to agree a timetable for the process – remembering that the party has to fight the Holyrood election in May.
