If Labour wins the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election, they could win the next general election. Subscribe here: / @newstatesman Read more here: https://sotn.newstatesman.com/2023/08... SNP MP Margaret Ferrier was suspended in 2020 due to breaking Covid lockdown rules, and now a by-election has been triggered after a petition calling for her removal from office was signed by more than 10 per cent of the constituents in Rutherglen and Hamilton West. The by-election is expected to be a tough battle between Labour and the SNP. “There's going to be a lot of fallout from the result” – says Freddie Hayward, the New Statesman – “It's really important for both leaders and how people perceive them to perform next year.” The stakes are high for both Keir Starmer, Humza Yousaf, and their respective parties. Is this a return for Scottish Labour? How does it affect their performance at the general election next year? Anoosh Chakelian, Freddie Hayward, and Ben Walker discuss the importance of a Labour comeback in Scotland. — The New Statesman podcast is now on YouTube.
