anas sarwar, the scottish labour party leader.very much riding the crest of the wave. so many of the mp candidates who he stood by out on the campaign trail over the last year or so, all the time saying that he was election ready. but of course , this is ready. but of course, this is only part half, if you like, of anas sarwar's plan. the other half is going to come in 2026, when the scottish elections will take place, and he will look to formally challenge the snp to become the next first minister of scotland. >> okay, tony. >> okay, tony. >> thank you. last man standing there in glasgow. tony. >> i love that. >> i love that. >> thanks very much indeed. >> thanks very much indeed. >> shall we go to the west midlands where jack castle is in birmingham? jack >> yeah. good morning to you both. i mean , we've had five of both. i mean, we've had five of the nine constituencies, so far declared here in birmingham and really we are seeing the impact now of that pro gaza that pro—palestine vote. those george galloway backed independence,

sarwar, the leader of the scottish labour party, answer keir starmer a5 of the scottish labour partyou could rule out the early release of high—risk offenders from overcrowded prisons — he said that while in principle, that was his instinct to avoid something like that, he wouldn't absolutely rule it out. when yesterday, he was asked by somebody about nhs waiting lists, he talked about nhs waiting lists, he talked about how they were going to be paying clinicians to work extra hours in order to address the backlog — but of course, that'll cost money. so whoever is in government will face huge challenges, but for now at least, the labour party certainly feel very optimistic that they could, after 14 years, be finally getting close to being in power. years, be finally getting close to being in power-— years, be finally getting close to being in power. jessica, thanks very much. our correspondent tom symonds is on the lib dem campaign bus. we were watching that finale just a short while ago, and the top line from ed davey earlier that there are no limits to the ambition for the liberal
