The Labour Party in Scotland has been thrown into a deep crisis following the resignation of its Scottish leader, Johann Lamont.

In her resignation statement Lamont accused Ed Miliband, and other leading figures in UK Labour, of treating Scotland like a “branch office”, calling for more autonomy for the Scottish party.
