Sunday Herald: Swinney attacked on all sides in leadership race"The leader’s tactic is to present an alternative to a proposed cross-party convention of those supporting independence, holding its first meeting at a conference fringe event next Friday. This is being pushed by the left-wing and fundamentalist part of the SNP, including former leadership candidate Alex Neil and former leader Willie Wolfe. It will have at its inaugural meeting Tommy Sheridan of the Scottish Socialist Party, senior citizen MSP John Swinburne, plus former shipyard union leader Jimmy Reid and actor/director David Hayman."
