but introduced michael shanks. er or not thatis at this point whether or not that is significant as he is making out. it was a low turnout and this is one constituency. and we have to remember that here over the last several months that labour has thrown everything , including the everything, including the kitchen sink at this constituency , whether it's constituency, whether it's sending up keir starmer for his multiple visits, pulling support from all across the country to support michael shanks as he's made his way, as he says , around made his way, as he says, around 30,000 constituents here in rutherglen and hamilton west come a ballot come at a general election sorry , it's unlikely election sorry, it's unlikely that labour can apply that many resources around the country. however this was overnight labour doubling their number of seats here in scotland, their westminster seats with ian murray in edinburgh south holding firm on the other side and we heard there from humza yousaf that this was a grave disappoin
