    Huge cheers as Jim Murphy entered and for pledges to end Zero Hours contracts and make the Monaco set pay tax like everyone else (although he could not say how).

    It is a younger audience than Scottish Tories – there are youth here (wow) and even some children.

    There are at least three black people too which is three more than I saw at yesterday’s Tories.

    Invited party audience of course so as usual no genuine interface with voters away for spin-control.

    He began with a genuinely moving appeal that after Karen Buckley, Scotland’s streets must be safe for young women.

    I'm getting a reputation as creepy at the Scottish Labour manifesto launch. https://t.co/KFfbrrLa3j
