During last night's Our Scottish Future rally in Edinburgh - which featured speeches from Gordon Brown, Mark Drakeford, Anas Sarwar, Andy Burnham and Tracy Brabin - Sarwar made a "promise" that Labour would "lead the way" in delivering seats in Scotland to deliver a Labour majority in the UK Parliament.
However, while Brown took swings at the SNP - saying Nicola Sturgeon would be lucky to stay out of jail - Drakeford was far less combatitive following his meeting with Humza Yousaf on Thursday.
Indeed, the two leaders said they would work together closely to protect attacks on devolution from the Tory government.
In other news, SNP MP Dave Doogan has hit out at Westminster authorities for "mishandling" his expenses claim after he was featured in a list of politicians claiming money to pay traffic violations.
Meanwhile, a Labour MSP is set to propose that the Scottish Government bring in a limit to how much land a person can own in the country without triggering a public interest test.
Plus, we've got opinion pieces from Joanna Cherry on the continued relevance of the Declaration of Arbroath and Richard Walker on whether referendums really work in delivering countries to independence.
