anas sarwar there, the scottish labour leader talking to us earlier now, we did ask the labour partyout if you rely too much on wind energy, it's going to save maybe £300, £400 off our bills by 2030. they said there won't be a cliff edge, they will just trend down, remove licences slowly from oil and gas companies and invest more and more in green energy. i also asked the labour leader, sir keir starmer, about this. the convicted felon who wants to run for president of the united states, donald trump. he said he would have to work with anybody. the special relationship would trump all. so essentially he's saying we can work with donald trump. if i become the pm in fewer than five weeks time. and just finally, the diane abbott story rumbles on today, anas sarwar has said that he supports her becoming a labour candidate at the election, along with angela rayner. six union leaders. the only person who hasn't said that yet is sir keir starmer. he may change his tune next week. the nec meets to decide her fate on tuesday . decide her fate on tuesday. >> yes, there does appear to be quite

we heard this rousing speech from keir starmer anas sarwar, the leader of the scottish labour party,ut i think what will be really interesting over the course of this campaign is to see how that relationship between anas sarwar and keir starmer , develops, and keir starmer, develops, because actually on pretty major policy issues, the two men really disagree. we know that keir starmer has been a staunch supporter of israel, has stopped short of ever saying that there should be an immediate ceasefire in gaza even now, and so many people in the labour party are calling for it. meanwhile scottish labour have been saying from pretty early on that they think there should be an immediate ceasefire in gaza. now thatis immediate ceasefire in gaza. now that is a tricky, circle, circle to square , square to circle to square, square to circle between the leader of the labour party in the whole of the uk and the leader of the labour party in scotland and in an election where scotland matters so much , where scotland matters so much, the labour party is hoping to take sort of, you know, 70, 80, 9

labour would pick up. so from a uk general election perspective , uk general election perspective, great. we're still two years away from a scottishion, but anas sarwar, the labour leader , has to be in the box leader, has to be in the box seat for that as well, they're not just losing votes over independence, of course, as well . people are looking at the snp's record and lots of things , snp's record and lots of things, particularly health, and they haven't done well. no it's a really poor record actually, across the board on public services, health, you know, waiting times, the nhs scotland, which is controlled by the snp, by the scottish government , is by the scottish government, is in disarray. >> education not going well at all across the board. actually it's a pretty damning record of failure i'd say. and i think what it shows that is that when single issue parties come into power, it's not just about making the argument for independence. every day you have to run a functional government and a country that works, and they've sort of failed on that score. the other thing i'd say is that, you know, alex salmond at the time,

mps instead of scottish labour mps or scottish conservatives. >> what snp mps do is that theyve one clear purpose, and that is to protect scotland and to advance scotland's interests. thatis advance scotland's interests. that is what they do . and on the that is what they do. and on the big issues that are affecting people in society today austerity, brexit, the cost of living crisis, all of these factors, austerity affects the funding for our public services, brexit affects our businesses . brexit affects our businesses. cost of living crisis affects every household in the country , every household in the country, and snp mps can be relied upon to protect scotland from these policies and to make sure that scotland's interests are being put first in the house of commons. that is what you get when you vote snp. if you vote snp, you are voting for scotland. >> i could have brought a tear to a glass , i couldn't it to a glass, i couldn't it flipping out right? okay, well it's not they're not convinced. it's just this, you know, where's the energy. yeah. >> where's the energy. whe

well, speaking earlier at first minister's questions, the leader of the scottish labour party, despitesnp are problems again, the snp are putting party before country and their own problems before the people of scotland . people of scotland. >> so isn't it the case that regardless of who the snp impose, they will not be able to fix this mess and deliver the change scotland needs in the us? >> president joe biden has called for order on college campuses after violent clashes between police and protesters in california. hundreds of riot police moved in on pro—palestine protesters overnight at the ucla campus. police there say they've made hundreds of arrests during crackdowns on demonstrations and meanwhile, here in the uk, students have also set up their own sit in camps in protest against israel's war with hamas students in sheffield, in leeds, newcastle and in bristol set up tents outside their campus buildings . tents outside their campus buildings. organisers are now suggesting those demonstrations could spread across the uk . could spread across the uk. today could be the warmest d

labour win last time? one. this is a party that used to command scottish politics. under gordon brown before him and tony blair and in years before that could rely on scotland to deliver a large number of mps to westminster to get them across the line and into downing street. sir keir starmer is hoping to return to those days. the prime minister is coming here today to campaign and we are expecting the labour leader to be showing up pretty soon as well. i think this will be an election where labour are hopeful that they can turn the tide in scotland although of course that is a matter not for sir keir starmer or anyone else for the voters. sir keir starmer or anyone else for the voters-— sir keir starmer or anyone else for the voters. . «a , . , the voters. thanks very much. rishi sunak is heading _ the voters. thanks very much. rishi sunak is heading to _ the voters. thanks very much. rishi sunak is heading to scotland, - the voters. thanks very much. rishi sunak is heading to scotland, he i sunak is heading to scotland, he started campaigning today in derbyshire an
