The National:

Oh dear. Scottish Labour aren't having much luck today are they?

First, Richard Leonard had a painful BBC interview in which he tried to defend blocking a conference vote on the single market.

Then whoever was in charge of the slides for the big screen made the most embarrassing spelling mistake they possibly could.

And now Labour's Shadow Scottish Secretary had been branded “clueless”, after she demanded the UK Government publish a key list of Brexit powers hours after it had already done so.

Lesley Laird used her address to the Scottish Labour conference in Dundee to demand “transparency” about the powers at the heart of a dispute between London and Edinburgh.

“We need the shroud of secrecy lifted by the Scottish and UK Government,” she said. “What are the actual issues that will affect people’s lives that they [the SNP] are so anxious to make a quarrel about? Let’s have some transparency about what exactly the outstanding issues actually are."

There was just one problem. The UK Government had published the list of 24 contested powers more than two hours before she spoke, and the Scottish Government had already responded in full.

SNP MSP George Adam said: "Labour are going from bad to worse.

"To have a Shadow Scottish Secretary so completely clueless on one of the biggest issues facing the country would be laughable if what was at stake wasn't so important.

"Labour have demonstrated on too many occasions that they are unfit for opposition, let alone for government.”

It's not been the best first day of conference for Scottish Labour has it?
