Gordon Brown launching fresh campaign to keep Scotland in UK following SNP’s latest election victory
Former prime minister Gordon Brown speaks at a Scottish Labour drive-in rally in Glasgow

GORDON BROWN is launching a fresh campaign to keep Scotland in the UK following the SNP’s latest election victory. 

The former Labour prime minister said his think tank Our Scottish Future would become a “campaigning movement” to make the “positive, progressive and patriotic case for Scotland in Britain.”
