Starmer hails by-election win and says Labour is the true ‘party of change’

Labour is the true “party of change”, Sir Keir Starmer has claimed after it thrashed the Scottish National Party into second place in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election.

Sir Keir’s party now has a second MP in Scotland after winning the vote with a swing of 20.4 per cent, amid projections that it could win dozens of seats as part of a path to an outright majority at the next general election.

Speaking at a victory rally alongside Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, and Michael Shanks, the newly-elected MP, Sir Keir said the electorate had “turned their back” on a Conservative government “which didn’t represent them”.

He added: “They also not so long ago saw a Labour Party that had drifted away from them.

“We’ve changed. And because we’ve changed we are now the party of change here in Scotland. We’re the party of change in Britain, we’re the party of change right across the whole country.”
