LABOUR chief Iain Gray is halfway through a very long and boring tale when I lose the will to live.
We meet in the Scottish Parliament. Gray is wearing a sober, dark blue suit and Labour standard-issue red tie.
He’s about 5ft 11in, with a silvery thatch and square Desperate Dan jaw.
The East Lothian MSP was the surprise choice earlier this month as Labour’s new Scottish leader, taking over from the disgraced Wendy Alexander.
A surprise because frankly he’s a bit dull. Gray by name, grey by nature.
