WENDY Alexander has not had an easy ride as Labour's new leader in Scotland. Public disenchantment with Gordon Brown's handling of the various crises that have beset the UK has widened the gap in the national opinion polls between Labour and the SNP. Indeed, the latest poll puts Labour and the SNP neck-and-neck for the first time ever in a prospective Westminster contest.

Labour. They look like real policies, but they are Political Tofu.
