Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer joined a party rally in Rutherglen ahead of the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election next week
Margaret Ferrier won the seat for the SNP in 2019, but was suspended from the party the following year after breaching Covid lockdown rules. With polls showing rising support for Labour in Scotland, the party is hoping to seize the seat back from the SNP. Branding this a “terrible combination”, he added: “If either of those parties, either here in Scotland or in the United Kingdom, had a record they could stand on they would stand on it. They would be coming here saying ‘this is what we have delivered, this is why you should vote for us, these are the things we have done’.
“That is why people desperately want that change here in Scotland, and it is the same story with the Conservatives.”
