A candidate for deputy leader of Labour in Scotland has called for the party to be "radical."

Katy Clark, the MP for North Ayrshire and Arran, told the party's annual Scottish Women's Conference in Glasgow that Labour must rejuvenate itself with a set of far-reaching policies to win back the people of Scotland.

"These elections offer us the opportunity to take our party back, to bring it home, to return it to its values of social justice and equality. It's what Labour Party membership has been crying out for. It's what the people of Scotland are demanding.

"There are too many women in our country who are faced with the daily dilemma between heating their homes or feeding their kids - these are women doing two or three jobs, on minimum wage, zero-hour contracts.

"They need a radical Labour Party who will not just raise the minimum wage but abolish it and replace it with a real living wage.

"Let me be clear - if we have to bring the power to do that from London to Scotland then I will."

Ms Clark said too much Labour policy had been created by too few people in recent years. "

Local branches, trade unions and our affiliates no longer feel they have a voice in the direction of the party, she said.

"For us to win back the trust and support of the people of Scotland we have to rejuvenate our party.

"That new life must come from our members, from our affiliates and from our trade unions. No more top down - or should that be south up policy directives."
