“WHATEVER I say will be what Anas says,” Keir Starmer told journalists during a campaign event in Scotland on Friday ...
“I think their priorities are completely wrong, and I've spent a lot of time in Scotland this year.
"This is the sixth time I've been up here talking to lots of people and everybody I meet and it's the same everywhere in Scotland. It's actually the same across the United Kingdom.“They say, what are you going to do about the cost of living crisis? I can't afford to pay the weekly bills. What are you going to do?
“And that's why we're fighting this election on a positive campaign. I think there's only one reason the SNP have gone into this space and it's because they can't fight on that territory and that shows that they're the past and we're the future.” Labour have been keen to draw a line between their UK leadership and the Scottish group, insisting that their candidate in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election, Michael Shanks, opposes Keir Starmer on issues such as his support for the two-child benefit cap., after the UK party leadership stepped in to rule it out.
This is a lower bar than a majority of seats – which will be 29 of Scotland’s 57 after boundary changes.Previously, the proposal had been for a General Election to be treated as a “de facto referendum”, with a mandate for independence coming if 50%+1 of the votes go to Yes-supporting parties.
