Interesting by-election result. Labour overturn large SNP majority, Toties lose deposit along with all the other parties. Labour Party up 24%. Tories down 11%. SNP down 16%. Whilst unlikely to be reproduced in the GE it does look like the SNP will lose their dominance, labour will be resurgent and the tories could be wiped off the electoral map.
Could this be a precursor of what could happen in the north where people may return to Labour. However Starmer will need to up his game next week when the whole of the MSP will be looking for any opportunity to criticise and mock. I believe there are many people who are swaying towards Labour but are not convinced. Now is the time for him to set out policies that make clear what a Labour Government would do in power.
James O’Brien has also just pointed out that most 14 year olds today have no intention of ever smoking! So another policy of no substance. The number of transport projects that was initially published is falling daily (the rest seem to have been planned anyway. OMG they are so useless!
