Call him Al.


So former Labour Minister and MSP Allan, "Man at M&S" Wilson (middle ... no right) is being touted as the new General Secretary of the Scottish Labour Party.

"EX-MINISTER Allan Wilson yesterday emerged as front-runner to be Scottish Labour general secretary. The job involves overseeing the party's reorganisation following their Holyrood defeat last May. Wilson - who lost the Cunninghame North seat - has been acting as an advisor to Scottish Labour leader Wendy Alexander.
He is a former deputy enterprise minister. Wison will be interviewed this week with three rivals. They are former Livingston MSP Bristow Muldoon, Dumfries and Galloway councillor Colin Smyth and Andrew Rowe, a former Executive special advisor."

It provides part of the answer to the old question of what happens when Labour MSPs lose their seats in the Scottish Parliament, but who would want to be General Secretary of the Scottish Labour Party at the moment? A job which in itself carries dangers. Ask Alex Rowley.
