Sir Keir Starmer’s hopes of winning the keys to No 10 at next year’s general election have been given a huge boost as Labour won a “seismic” victory in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election.
Polling guru Professor Sir John Curtice said the 20 per cent swing from SNP to Labour was a “remarkably good result” that put Sir Keir’s party on course to be the “dominant” force in Scotland again and win a clear majority in the Commons.
