Wednesday, 19 February 2025 Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has said the last seven months of Sir Keir Starmer's government have been hard - but he is confident his party will oust the SNP from power next year.
Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sarwar has hailed his party’s shock victory in the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-elections, saying the results sent a “clear message” from the Scottish people, who he says are “sick of the SNP” and “reject the poison of Farage”. Scottish Labour stunned the SNP to win the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election by just 602 votes, whilst Reform UK beat the Conservatives into third place, just 800 votes shy of the SNP in second.
