Growth is the answer to most questions facing Labour. With criticism that its plans imply a big cut to public spending, at least to those services that are not given protection, it is also promising not to raise tax "on working people".
Labour has opted to constrain itself on borrowing, showing it is serious about economic stability by adopting the Conservatives' fiscal rules on debt.
The only way out of that tax-spend-borrowing corner is with economic growth - generating more tax for public services, as well as more jobs and higher pay.
As UK and Scottish growth has been slow for 16 years, since the bank crash, Labour's means of boosting it are not that radical a change of direction from the Conservatives', with the same limit to the amount government can spend to stimulate growth.
So Labour's plan depends on government competence, working better to stimulate business investment, backing the right technologies with an industrial strategy to back the most promising growth sectors, and using government funds to invest in them.
In Scotland, a lot of that is about renewable energy, though a hard line against further oil and gas drilling does not look helpful to investment or jobs.
Labour also says it will be be pro-worker. The tension between these two begins with the promise of a rise in the minimum wage. Some 200,000 Scots will be better off, we're told, but employers will pay for that.
The tensions continue with more workplace rights; on fire and re-hire, banning zero hours contracts but only if they are 'exploitative', broader parental leave rights.
Employment rights cross the Border, but much of Scottish Labour's manifesto is about devolved powers, and an indicator of what to expect at the 2026 Holyrood election campaign.
Anas Sarwar answered a journalist's challenge to rule out a rise in Scotland's income tax rates, with a simple 'yes'.
That leaves the next Holyrood manifesto also dependent on growth, putting emphasis on backing for renewable energy, a faster planning system, business rates reform to help the high street, and workplace skills.

Much of Scottish Labour's manifesto raises criminal justice issues - which Scottish Labour MPs won't be able to do anything about, because they're devolved to Holyrood.
The party talks of Police Scotland being "gutted" (policing is devolved) and court backlogs delaying justice (courts are devolved).
The manifesto says Scotland's "sense of security has been slowly eroded over the past 17 years," taking us back to 2007 when the SNP gained power at Holyrood, not 2010 when the Conservatives gained power at Westminster.
Holyrood issues are being used to fight for Westminster seats, but that's nothing new and Scottish Labour won't be the only ones doing it.
Policies which a UK Labour government would be able to implement in Scotland include greater collaboration between UK police forces on cybercrime, fraud, trafficking and terrorism.
The manifesto says ninja swords, zombie-style blades and machetes will be banned and rules strengthened to prevent their sale online.
Labour says it will add new provisions to the Online Safety Act and explore further measures to keep people safe, especially when they're using social media.

It’s fourteen years since Labour last won a national election in Scotland.
When Gordon Brown was prime minister, they held Scotland in the 2010 UK election while losing power across the UK. The SNP has dominated ever since.
But Labour senses that this is a change election, that frustration with a Conservative government at Westminster and an SNP government at Holyrood leaves them well placed to regain lost ground in Scotland.
One Labour veteran told me that campaigning in Scotland at this election was like taking a warm bath with bubbles. That is by comparison with years of rejection and some hostility on the doorsteps.
Another long standing Labour campaigner admitted that there was not yet enthusiasm for Sir Keir Starmer’s party. It was just that people were so fed up with the alternatives, Labour is now seen to offer the best route to change.
That’s why that word is plastered over the manifesto and threaded through the party’s campaign.
Yet the promises Labour are making are far from radical. They are modest and limited because as the party’s Scottish leader, Anas Sarwar, puts it, in tough times they would rather under promise and over deliver than break trust by doing the opposite.

There are repeated questions from journalists about the two child benefit cap.
It's a headache for Labour because they know the impact this has on child poverty.
Anas Sarwar is under pressure from some grassroots Labour members to change this policy.
But he - and more importantly his UK Leader, Sir Keir Starmer - are, for now, holding the line and sticking to the cap.
Continuing to answer questions from the media, Anas Sarwar is asked about comments made by Tony Blair, external, marking 25 years of devolution.
Sarwar says devolution has "undoubtedly been a success because it's brought power closer to home".
He adds: "We have to be honest and say we haven't maximised the opportunities of devolution have been squandered, in particular over the last 14 years where you've had two governments wanting to use devolution as a battering ram to pick fights with each other and ultimately fail Scotland."
He says a UK Labour government would "reset devolution", taking it back to its founding principles with two governments working together in the national interest.

Health is a devolved issue so even if Keir Stammer wins next month, Labour won’t be making decisions about the NHS in Scotland.
For that reason, many of the plans in this manifesto: to reduce the number of health boards, to have a mental health practitioner in every GP surgery, or to make more use of technology, can be seen as aspirations and the sort of topics Anas Sarwar will continue to challenge John Swinney on in Holyrood.
Even the headline promise to create 160,000 appointments every year to cut waiting times funded by tax crackdowns is not guaranteed to happen if Labour win in Westminster.
Firstly, the money raised would be transferred to Scotland through ‘Barnett consequentials’, then the SNP government would have to decide they wanted to spend it on creating additional appointments, and highly trained staff would then have to be recruited to ensure those patients could be seen.

Out on the campaign trail, the Scottish Liberal Democrat leader says Scottish Labour are "playing it safe" in this general election with their eyes on the prize of Downing Street.
Alex Cole-Hamilton was speaking on a visit to the small wetlands around Glasgow Science Centre as he spoke about his party's plans for the environment in this general election.
As Scottish Labour launch their manifesto, Cole-Hamilton said "it wouldn't set the heather alight".
He added that you don't hear a great deal from Labour about people wanting a GP appointment on first time of asking, about local NHS dental provision and who will get the sewage out of rivers.
Questioned if he was regarded as being too politically close to Scottish Labour and the leader Anas Sarwar, Cole-Hamilton said "you can't win - if you talk with civility or repsect to an opponent people automatically jump to assumptions".

Scottish Labour’s manifesto acknowledges the damage done to the cultural sector by the pandemic, which continues today.
They propose a long term recovery plan to support the sector, which was one of the first industries to close, and the last to reopen.
Campaigners who have long called for an increase in public funding for arts and culture will be heartened by the comment that for the 0.2% of the Scottish budget currently spent on culture “we get so much back for so little investment.”
They will also welcome the commitment to a baseline for cultural spending which reflects its value and delivers a greater share of the Scottish government budget.
They also support the introduction of an Arts Bill which would place a statutory responsibility on local authorities to deliver arts and culture.
Cash-strapped authorities like Glasgow - which has a huge number of museums, galleries and cultural organisations on its patch - may note any plan would be supported by fair funding.
They suggest a Cultural Rucksack scheme - based on a successful Norwegian programme which allows every school pupil the chance to experience professional arts and culture.
And they also want to see more support for the grass roots music industry and for the film and television sector, as well as increased opportunities to learn production skills.
They promise a push to address the decline in Gaelic language and to support a museum and archive devoted to telling the stories of underrepresented groups in Scotland’s history and culture.
That also ties in with a commitment to recognising Scotland’s historical role in empire, colonialism and transatlantic slavery, which they want to see included in the national curriculum.
Sarwar is asked whether there is any truth that Scottish Labour has climbed down on their policy to scrap the two child benefit cap.
He is asked if he has "accepted the UK party line"?
He says it was right to oppose and vote against the benefit cap and it was right to want to change it.
Sarwar says: "We've worked really hard across the UK to only include in our manifesto promises we know we can keep and pledges we know we can spend money on right now that our country can afford.
"Once the financial circumstances allow, we want to move on the two child limit and we want to move on reforming Universal Credit."
The two-child cap limits the benefits families can receive if they add a third (or more) child to their family.
Probed on the proposed location in Scotland for the headquarters for the proposed GB Energy, Sarwar says this will come "on the other side of the election".
He adds while GB Energy may have a "central hub of thinking" at the headquarters, the Labour party want the investments made to benefit every community across the country.
He says: "One of the big mistakes when we think of the clean energy transition is thinking that its all opportunities are only in the North East or in our rural, remote and island communities.
"There is huge opportunities in our urban communities as well - in the North East and across the Central belt as well."
Elsewhere on the campaign trail, the First Minister and SNP leader John Swinney will be in Oban meeting with representatives from the seafood industry.
Douglas Ross spent the morning meeting representatives from the fishing industry in Fraserburgh to highlight his party's commitment to safeguarding fishing waters.
Leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats, Alex Cole-Hamilton was at Glasgow Science Centre to discuss plans to ensure the whole UK reaches net zero by 2045.
Meanwhile, the Scottish Greens will be campaigning at the University of Glasgow calling for an end to investment in the arms industry.
The Scottish Labour leader concludes his remarks by urging voters to elect Scottish Labour MPs on 4 July.
A Q&A with journalists now begins.

Sarwar says under Labour, the Scotland Office will be at the heart of the next UK government, playing a key role in the relationship with the Scottish government and ensuring devolution is strengthened and "works the way it was always meant to".
He adds: "It will also be a turbo charged Scotland office, bolstered by millions of pounds of funding which will be directly invested in Scotland to invest in infrastructure and tackle poverty."
The Scottish Labour leader adds Scotland's exports will be displayed on the global stage to encourage investment and create jobs.
Sarwar says: "Enough of selling Scots to the Scots. Lets sell our amazing nation to the rest of the world."

The commitment to end new oil and gas licences is a much less palatable pill to swallow in Scotland where 60,000 jobs rely directly or indirectly on the sector.
But there's no sugar coating it in the Scottish manifesto, although it emphasises that existing licences won't be revoked.
Perhaps the biggest sweetener is the decision to base its publicly-owned Great British Energy north of the border, delivering clean power and investing in green energies.
GB Energy will be given £8.3bn over the course of the next parliament to co-invest with the private sector in new technologies.
The renewables industry has some concern about GB Energy being a generator of electricity because it fears that might skew the market.
But the party says it will invest in Scotland's energy potential and create new high-quality jobs.
Sarwar says Labour plans for a publicly-owned energy company will “create more good jobs and bills for good”.
Labour wants to set up a new public company, called GB energy, headquartered in Scotland.
"Our bold energy plans put Scotland at the global forefront of the transition to clean energy," he says.
On education, the Scottish Labour party say raising education standards overall is a priority - pledging to improve numeracy and literacy skills and provide digital skills to prepare young people for work.
The party manifesto sets out changes including a ‘Skills to School’ programme, uniting experts from the private and public sector to inform young people about career opportunities.
Scottish Labour want to reform apprenticeships in Scotland so opportunities are more flexible and easy to find.
Sarwar says Labour will look after young people “from cradle to career”.
Sarwar says aside from being the day after the election, 5 July has other significance, being the 76th anniversary of the founding of the NHS.
He says: "I can't think of a better birthday present than returning a Labour government across our country."
Sarwar says in 1948 Labour created the NHS and in 1997 Labour saved the NHS. He says in 17 days time, "we can begin the process of saving our NHS again".
He says the plans will cut bills, boost wages, strengthen the economy and renew public services, fixing the "mess" the Tories made of the economy.
He adds: "Never forget, Liz Truss crashed our economy and everybody in Scotland is still paying the price."
The Scottish Labour leader continues that while families struggle with the cost of living crisis and higher bills, the Tories had "parties in Downing street while we were all separated from our families" and "handing out billions of pounds of contracts to their billionaire pals".
Sarwar says his party will demonstrate respect for people's money and restore decency in politics.
He adds Labour will appoint a Covid corruption commissioner, to claw back tax payers' money lost in "pandemic-related fraud".
