situation and the margaret ferrier situation and the fact she had to be sacked from parliament and a difficulties the snp has had with the police investigation on nicola sturgeon amongst others, rested and then released without charge. but ultimately he now may be has a few months, maybe a year or so to turn things around because on the swing we saw yesterday, it is colossal, those are the swings were getting in 2015 from labour to the snp and if that was replicated at a general election, the snp would be very, very worried indeed. what you can put a lot of money on is that the snp do a lot of soul searching in the next few weeks. they have their conference in aberdeen and a couple of weeks' time and that will be a big moment for them to try and have some sort of reset but i imagine there's a lot of snp people this morning feeling pretty pessimistic, actually. morning feeling pretty pessimistic, actuall . ~ ., ~ morning feeling pretty pessimistic, actuall. ~ ., ~ , . actually. mick, thank you very much. let's ick actually. mick, thank you very much. let's pick up — actually. mick, th

the seat was made vacant because the former scottish national party mp margaret ferrier was ousted inthe party for breaching covid regulations. let's talk to our scotland editorjames cook who is at the count tonight. yes, margaret ferrier was elected in 2019 with a majority ofjust over 5200, making this one of the snp's more vulnerable seats in scotland. within a year or so she had decided to travel by train from london to glasgow despite having tested positive for covid and that resulted in her expulsion from the scottish national party and ultimately, her recall as an mp as well as a criminal conviction for breaking lockdown law. labour here very much sense and opportunity, is the first big electoral test for the snp leader humza yousaf since he took over from leader humza yousaf since he took overfrom nicola sturgeon but with a police investigation currently under way over the funding of finances for the snp, labourare way over the funding of finances for the snp, labour are pretty confident if victory here and snp people we have been speaking to are very downbeat about their chanc

this comes after the removal of snp mp margaret ferrier who was removed after breaking coronavirus ruleschael shanks, scottish labour party, 17,831. this was a stunning victory widely forecast but not with a win and a swing as big as this. it's time for change. that change can't come fast enough but one thing is now clear, there is no part of this country where labour can't win. winning hamilton and rutherglen west doubles the number of seats labour has in scotland from one to two. small numbers but the party has big ambitions ahead. it's an extraordinary win and i think this is a seismic night here in scotland and a historic one and i think scottish politics has fundamentally changed and i think people in rutherglen and hamilton west have sent a very clear message that they are sick of too tired, incompetent and failing governments and they are desperate for a fresh start. they are desperate for change in the vehicle for that change is and the vehicle for that change is now scottish labour. the snp was already facing challenges heading into this vote but this, the first by—election loss

we were told time and time again that margaret ferrier�*s reckless actions played against us, and theigation obviously played against us, as well. we have had tough election results in the past and we will bounce back stronger and i am keen to make sure we are fighting for the next electoral test. i've been speaking to professor sirjohn curtice, a political scientist at the university of strathclyde. i asked him whether labour would be able to recreate this kind of success in a general election. by—elections often give an exaggerated reflection of movements against governments and, to that extent at least, we can't necessarily assume that labour would do as well in scotland in a general election as it's done in rutherglen in this by—election. one reason, for example, is that it was relatively easy for conservative voters who wanted to ensure that the snp lost this by—election to switch to labour to ensure that the snp lost, but they might be much more reluctant to do that in a general election. that said, it has been when oppositions start to produce swings of this size, and this is n
