SNP president Michael Russell has dismissed claims that his party are “rattled” by polls showing a Labour resurgence – accusing Anas Sarwar of “fooling himself”.
Russell – the former Scottish constitution secretary – was speaking in the wake of a slew of UK-wide polls showing Labour enjoying record-breaking leads over the Tory Party.
A YouGov poll conducted from October 6-7 showed that Keir Starmer’s party had a 30-point lead over the Conservatives.
