Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said his party’s shock victory in a Holyrood by-election could help propel him into power next year – as he declared he wants to “gain scores of seats across the country” in a bid to defeat the SNP.
Mr Sarwar and his party celebrated in the early hours of Friday morning after Labour’s Davy Russell was elected as the new MSP for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse, winning the seat from the SNP.
