i mean, hutchies is obviously a school on the south side of glasgow and there is now a disproportionate number of pupils, particularly from a south asian background and from a jewish background that go to the school and. look, i think humza yousaf was two years below me at school. i only ever had one conversation with him at school. i m not sure it was a very positive one! he was a nationalist back then and i was a member of the labour party so i think we kind of rubbed up the runway in that conversation as well. but i part of it is i think confidence. i think the big challenge we have two win over is, it s part of our culture in scotland and the wider uk, where we have this inherent i think. we kind of down and sell ourselves rather than upsell. if you compare us to the american education system, america
england. it shows you, i suppose you could spin a positive out of this, his ruthless hunger to make sure he always wins. we were winning that game i should have you know after 60 minutes by a clear six goals. actually, he was rather smart in having one of his staff being the referee and in charge of the clock and extended the game by 35 minutes until his team went one goal up and then they blew the whistle. so i have got that ingrained scottish grievance after it so i welcome a rematch any time. rematch any time. anas sarwar, leader of the rematch any time. anas sarwar, leader of the scottish rematch any time. anas sarwar, leader of the scottish labour i rematch any time. anas sarwar, i leader of the scottish labour party, thank you forjoining me. there is an awful lot riding on how anas sarwar handles the next year or so. he knows, keir starmer knows, if they don t get labour s message in scotland right, they won t get into they don t get labour s message in scotland right, they
you do the other parts? actually, thejourney we ve been on has been quite incredible. i m sure we will touch upon that later but i would say, i still think i ve got the hardest job in british politics but i think humza yousaf is catching up with me. yeah, well, we will talk about him and his problems injust a second. but you in a sense, as i said, were simply going into the family business. this was something you d prepared your whole life for. your father was notjust an mp but a powerful and successful figure in scotland. do you feel as you grew up that this is what you were expected to do and almost certainly would do? it s interesting because i always recoiled at the thought of standing for politics. i think my father wanted me to go into politics, if i m honest with you. when i was a teenager and i recall when he asked whether i would go into politics and i was studying and i said, no chance, i m not going to stand for politics. he didn t speak to me for six months because he obvio
he was very focused on foreign policy, international development and that was his real driving force of his politics. whereas for me, it s more the national health service, our economy, education. so i think in that sense, we probably have very, very different politics and very different priorities. now there are two ways of looking at your story. on the one hand, this is an extraordinary story, yours, of success for a second generation immigrant against some pretty foul racism. you will probably know the other way of looking at it, it s a story of immense privilege. you re the son of a member of parliament, your dad was, what, a multimillionaire in the end? having set up a cash and carry business. you went to private school. a private school which is amongst the elite in scotland and produced a whole host of scottish politicians. do you accept in that sense. ..that you ve got a privileged elite background? no, absolutely, i think you can look at that story and think of course there is
through the day and some drier spells altogether across southern and eastern areas. but quite a cool night to come. these are towns and city values, may be cooler than that in rural spots. so for sunday, the center of low pressure is moving towards scandinavia. we ve still got a run of north westerly winds and we re still got this weather front bringing wet weather to the far north of scotland into the northern isles. some blustery showers for scotland, northern ireland, maybe north west england, west wales, south west england. but there s a chance the southeast of england should escape most of the showers. there could be the odd one moving through and see some good spells of sunshine where we ll see temperatures up to 21 or 22 degrees. it s the mid to high teens further north. so i think conditions look all right at lord s for the rest of the cricket there. variable cloud, some sunshine, quite breezy, mind you, and top temperatures around 20, 21 celsius. then through sunday night, it
