Scottish Labour leadership contender Michael Marra says he is open to doing deals with other parties ahead of local elections. All reports describe his position as flexible on potential cooperation, but framed around the decisions Labour would make locally rather than a blanket national arrangement.
One outlet adds a specific constraint: Marra says he would not accept any deals with Reform Scotland. Other coverage focuses more generally on his openness to negotiations, without emphasizing the same exclusion. Overall, the reports agree on Marra’s willingness to consider cross-party arrangements, while differing mainly on how detailed they are about which parties would or would not be included.
