Scotland's Labour leader Kezia Dugdale has told MPs that a more autonomous party north of the border would improve its electoral chances.

She also warned her Westminster colleagues that UK Labour must "innovate and reform" to avoid what happened to the Scottish party.

Labour lost 40 of its 41 seats to the SNP at the general election in May.

Ms Dugdale took over the reins of the party in August this year after former MP Jim Murphy resigned.

Ms Dugdale added that greater autonomy was the "the key to turning around Labour's fortunes in Scotland".
