John Swinney has saidthat the Scottish National Party needs a period of "soul searching" following Labour's landslide victory in Scotland.
Swinney, who took over as SNP leader eight weeks ago, acknowledged his party had endured "a very tough night" after losing at least 38 seats across central and western Scotland to a resurgent Labour.
Labour won 35.7% of the vote in Scotland, several points higher than in the UK overall, and gained 36 seats-a result that shocked the SNP leadership and surprised Labour's strategists.
Peter Cardwell speaks with political editor at The Scottish Daily Mail, Michael Blackley.
