Labour leader Keir Starmer speaks on Scottish by-election campaign trail

Keir Starmer launched an attack on the SNP's reported use of zero-hour contracts in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election on a campaign visit today.

The UK Labour leader, who was be joined by Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, said it is "insulting" that the SNP hired workers on the precarious contracts to hand out leaflets.

Starmer also said that Labour, winning the Rutherglen and Hamilton West seat, will put the two “failing” governments at Holyrood and Westminster “on notice”.

The by-election will take place on Thursday next week and comes after former SNP MP Margaret Ferrier was ousted from the seat for breaking Covid rules.
